My name is Dr. Penny Lane Hamblin and I have been in the counseling field for 7 years. I live in North Carolina with my husband, son, and our two dogs. I currently work in Outpatient Therapy at a local agency, as well as, teach counseling courses at a few of the local colleges here in my town.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from East Carolina University, Master of Arts Degree in Mental Health Counseling, and a Doctorate of Counseling in Education and Supervision, both from Argosy University in Sarasota, Florida. I most recently published a dissertation qualitative research design and became an author in the counseling research field. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice with clients allowing them to understand the control that they have over their thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
My approach is holistic and involves self-care interventions, as well as, communication and trust. I have experience working with the adult population in areas of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting, addiction, and others conducting treatment plans for clients that have minimal challenges, as well as, those who have been in and out of the hospital due to instability in their mental health. I tend to empower my clients in understanding choice and to take ownership of their actions allowing them to get back into control of their lives. My practice is evidence-based in theory and measures client's growth throughout the treatment so that the client can visualize the changes that they have made at the end of their experience.
I am dedicated to my practice and helping those in need understand that they can grow where they are with the right support, trust in process, and dedication to changing their ways to develop healthier ones.
