Introduction

My name is Elizabeth Penniston, and I am committed to empowering individuals through self-determination and exploration in their therapeutic journey. With a range of evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I provide a holistic approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I believe healing is a deeply personal process, and I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges and cultivate growth. Overcoming pain and adversity requires strength, resilience, and, most importantly, support. I am dedicated to walking alongside you as we navigate these complexities together, working towards healing, self-discovery, and personal empowerment.
