Barbara Penn, LCSW

One of the greatest things about challenges in life is that we’re given the opportunity to discover we’re stronger than we ever imagined. Understanding that we can develop the skills necessary to conquer life’s challenges is critical to creating the life we want for ourselves. I have twenty years of experience in the mental health field having worked in a hospital setting at UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, residential treatment and outpatient levels of care.

​

During individual therapy sessions, clients learn how to identify their personal goals and shift their perspective from feeling “victimized” to feeling “in control” which results in hopefulness and motivation that is life changing. Individual therapy offers the opportunity to face our challenges while discovering that we are stronger than we ever imagined.

Through the years I’ve often been asked the question, “Isn’t it depressing to work in the mental health field?” After 20 years of experience, I can honestly respond; the resilience, the drive, the determination and success of the clients I have had the privilege of serving far exceeded any expectations I could have ever imagined.​
