Honestly if I can give her negative stars I would. In 2014 she charged me $125 per hour(cash paying client) She started the sessions late and ended them early almost every time. I always paid cash at my visit...she sent me to collections for 3 appts. 1 which she noted I saw her for but didn’t the cash that visit according to her “notes” & 2 additional ones I no showed. I never Pre booked with her more than a week....I book out clients in my career and I take a credit card to charge for missed appts. I do not make up on a sheet of paper and send people to collections. Luckily I’m fighting this with collections and they are going to take it off as her paper she made up is not valid . She has very bad reviews and I understand why. She would weasel her way into work as I was already waiting, again start late & end early. People are paying a lot of money they want the full hour. I’m all about seeing a therapist, family counselor but Penny I’m sorry I would never recommend you. I never leave reviews, let alone a nasty review but as people are seeking help I don’t find you as a good fit for this an by the reviews it clear you are not. find somebody who cares and is passionate about what they do and will not just take your money and bill you for extra cash sessions 😂🤣

So Penny was recommended to me in middle school by my guidance counselor after I had a stint with self harm. I entrusted her with my deepest secret and thought she was on my side until about 7 years later when I finally went to court for the matter. She refused to testify against my abuser, demanding some compensation and free accommodations if she were to do it ( court was in Dallas TX ). Because of her not testifying, my abuser went Scott free and my family and I were called liars in front of an entitled courtroom. She’s not in the business to genuinely help, otherwise she would’ve helped put my abuser on the sex offender list. Don’t waist a dime.

Penny goes well beyond and holds people accountable. This wont be everyones cup of tea as part of counseling is owning your decisions and working on those issues. Penny gives you the tools to help you be successful, but she doesnt guide your ship that is your job. I have seen the growth in my children and it works. Coming from an abusive situation and trying to learn what healthy is has not been an easy journey, but every day it gets better. I read the bad reviews and it is sad they were not ready for the journey so it is easier to blame someone else. Penny is good and if you want to improve get ready for the journey.
