Pennie Leggett
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience. I am devoted to living this precious life well and to support others to do the same. The focus of my practice is to help others identify the habits and patterns operating in their lives that are not working in their best interests, then support them to find freedom from them, so that they are no longer haunted by the past or paralyzed by fears of the future, but rather are then free to pursue their hopes and dreams. Together we can allow the sirens of our symptoms to guide us toward health and wellbeing. No matter the journey, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes"- Marcel Proust. Cultivating awareness we can transform our lives by listening to our bodies, exploring the beliefs that drive our actions, and learning how to choose how we respond to difficult situations rather than kneejerk reactivity
