Elizabeth Penniston

Elizabeth Penniston

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Kansas City, MO


My name is Elizabeth Penniston, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a degree from Saint Louis University. Throughout my academic journey, I dedicated myself to gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which led me to complete my practicum and supervision at a respected Domestic Violence organization. This experience has allowed me to work closely with individuals who have faced challenging and complex situations, further enhancing my skills in trauma-informed care, advocacy, and therapeutic support.

I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective mental health care, utilizing evidence-based practices, and fostering a safe environment for my clients. My work has instilled in me a profound understanding of the unique needs of those affected by domestic violence and the importance of empowering individuals as they navigate their healing journey.

Would you like to learn how to surf through life's challenges rather than get pummeled by them? I can teach you as a Positive Intelligence coach, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For over 30 years, in Missouri and Illinois I've helped people of all ages struggling with emotional regulation, the management of symptoms of depression or anxiety, stress, life transitions, anger management, parenting, and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. Together, we would focus on what is helpful and let go of judging what is right or wrong.
