What is counseling?

The words counseling, therapy, and psychotherapy are often used interchangeably. At the end of the day, it’s all about trying to create positive change in your life.  This can be done individually, as a couple, or in groups. The key is being open and honest with yourself and your therapist to insure you are truly getting what you need from the interaction.

You’ve probably found your way to this site because something in your life isn’t going the way you expected. Now is the time to take action to get things headed in a more positive direction.

  • Paul is patient, open-minded, and wise who really guided me through my emotional problems with the sessions that we had. The advice that he gave helped me start to focus on recognizing my self-value rather than hanging on to the past or the others. I would recommend him to anyone who needs counseling. Thank you so much, Paul!

  • Paul's kind, engaging, smart, thoughtful and really acts like not only a therapist but as a caring human...and that is truly rare to find in someone. He's helped me out so much I actually spoke to a friend who was dealing with some heavy stuff in his life, and he signed up for therapy as well! Anyway, long story short: Paul is awesome, full of love, expertise and helpfulness, I promise anyone with any mental health issues, with just a hard time in life or even someone who just wants a real human to connect with to  speak with could really receive some love, attention, support and help from him.

  • Finding a therapist who is knowledgeable about the struggles I face as a teacher has been amazing! Not only has he helped me figure out my personal path, he has been able to help me improve my teaching and work-life balance too.

  • I didn't want to go to counseling but my family talked me into trying it. Paul changed my life. I never would have believed a pipeline welder like me would look forward to sharing personal things with a stranger but Paul helped me figure a lot of stuff out. He didn't give me answers but helped me find them myself. This dude is legit. He doesn't even freak out when every other word I use starts with an F.

  • Paul isn't a typical therapist, he gets what I go through on the job as a Fireman and the struggles that we really face. He listened to what I said and didn't try to change the things that I didn't want to change.

  • Mr. Pennington has acted as a role model, life coach, and guide for many of my adult years, even through enlistment, bootcamp, and deployments. He has helped me through some very rough times and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without him! He is very easy to talk to, very approachable, and very professional! I enjoy talking with him!
