ABOUT ME

Penny McNeel, LMFT

Professionally my interest in the world of psychotherapy grew out of the “self-actualization” movement of the 60s and 70s. A more immediate, goal oriented approach suited my desire to see change actually happen and stick.

I was fortunate enough to be exposed to first and second generation “gurus” of the time as well as take advantage of the culture of “find an expert and get trained!”

Personally, my own evolution influences how I listen and how I support change in others, particularly in claiming “the whole of our humanity” without judgement.

My personal sustenance comes from vital relationships with family and close friendships, spiritual depth, willingness to be open to any experience of awe and to seek delight.

My later chapter is an avocation to building enough artistic skills to have something I am proud to share with others.

Other passions: pets! creating meals that bring people together, and snagging an opera ticket when I can.
