Hello, I am Anthony Penn, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the state of Virginia. I earned my Master's degree in Mental Health Rehabilitation Counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. With a combined 13 years of counseling experience and 25 years of working with individuals who face psychological and emotional challenges, including severe mental illness, I have developed a comprehensive expertise in this field.
I’ve worked with all age groups and populations over the years in my work. I’ve worked in a variety of settings (i.e., private practice, acute inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient therapy programs such as partial hospitalization programs, group homes, forensic facilities, and community mental health programs). I’m pleased to say I’ve had the opportunity to assist individuals with a wide range of issues and I have yet to meet a challenge that was unwelcomed. One of my greatest honors has been to treat active duty, veterans, and retired service members who have served in combat and have faced significant challenges re-integrating into society after returning home.
My counseling approach can be heavy in cognitive behavioral approaches but I love to incorporate mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology into my work. If any of this sounds relevant to you please do not hesitate to contact me.

He is a lot of help. Understanding and compassionate, but helps me recognize that my own faults played a part in this incident as well, and that my shortcomings were always there, just women in the past didn't take advantage of it.
