Penni Fontenot, LCSW
About me
I am licensed in Louisiana with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, focus and attention. I believe that you are the expert of the story of your life and experiences, and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I believe that we all have the answers we’re looking for inside of us, but sometimes we need someone to help us dig deep enough to find them. Not everyone subscribes to that notion, or they don’t believe they can do it. And that’s okay! My goal is to help guide you through those things. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

Additional areas of focus: Abandonment, Codependency, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Guilt and shame, Narcissism, Post-traumatic stress

Penni has really taken the time to listen, asks questions to understand, and is SO easy to click with and talk to. Highly recommended!

I felt heard and validated. She understands my concerns and adapts to whatever I need from her whether it’s homework or check-ins etc. Down to earth, Personable yet professional at the same time.
