These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Penny Clodfelter. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Over the past year, Penny has provided invaluable guidance as I have crafted a new life for myself! I respect her interpretation of my situation and appreciate her helping me see the forest when I get lost in the trees. I am learning not to let the past hold me back but to use it as a stepping stone on my way to a future better than I ever thought was possible!

Very patient, great listener and supporter. Honest and straight forward. Doesn’t let you slide by on things that need to be addressed. Doesn’t defend or excuse your bad behavior

Penny has been the most helpful therapist I have ever had. She listens without judgement. She asks for clarification if she needs to better understand what I’m trying to convey BEFORE she offers her advice/opinion. She has given me multiple tools to try out for managing my anxiety and regularly checks in on how those tools are working for me. I feel extremely comfortable with her and constantly talk about her/my sessions with my nearest and dearest. My family and friends have all seen massive improvements in me since I began therapy; providing these comments unprompted so I know they are legitimate and not just comments to seem supportive. I cannot recommend Penny enough! I honestly don’t think this review has done her justice frankly because I can’t quite articulate the growth I feel she has helped me achieve.
