Meet Penelope.

I am a highly interactive therapist dedicated to providing focused, research-backed interventions for trauma, anxiety, depression and life transitions. With a background in the arts and over a decade of post-graduate training in many research-proven modalities, I am able to employ both creativity and specific tools in her work, curating a treatment plan with my clients that best fits their unique needs.

My practice offers evidence-based approaches to trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am a certified provider of EMDR, TF-CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I employ humor, creativity, and level-headedness in my work with teens, adults, and the LGBTQ+ community. Sessions can be a highly structured experience with specific goals and research-backed skills taught, as well as a space for you to explore at your own pace.

I have been in practice for over a decade and habe trained under some of the industry's leading experts on trauma treatment. Prior to founding my own practice, I served as Director of Trauma Treatment at the Child and Family Institute, and as a staff therapist at the Center for Traumatic Stress at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, where I was supervised by Drs. Judith Cohen and Anthony Mannarino, the developers of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I offer in-person sessions in New York City and Westchester County, and remote sessions for clients based in New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Texas.
