"I'm passionate about working in LGBTQIA+ communities, particularly in the areas of perinatal mental health, pregnancy loss and grief, and birth trauma, navigating early parenting years, divorce and other life transitions. I also have a passion for helping people heal from emotionally immature or abusive parents; these issues tend to come up during times of loss and transition."

"I work with adults who tend to be the go-to person for others, high achievers, or people-pleasers — those who are often attuned to others' needs but disconnected from their own. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns of self-neglect. I help them build healthier boundaries, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate self-trust."
Currently accepting new clients M-Th from 10am-4pm.

"Hi, I'm Heather Penny, but everyone calls me HP. As a Queer and Native therapist, I have infinite faith in your capacity to heal and grow, as you define it. I strive to hold the complexity of justice, culture, queerness, disability and indigenous worldview in all of my therapeutic work. I love holding space for client's authenticity; being freaky, messy, gloriously human, full of opinions and personality. I’m committed to supporting you to become the biggest, truest version of yourself because there’s room enough for all of us. Drawing on tenets of trauma responsive disability and healing justice, I use an eclectic mix of modalities, including culturally specific narrative therapy, generative somatics, harm reduction and land and community centered healing practices including plant medicines for mental health and somatic awareness."

Accepting new clients (Couples, polycules, and families) for relationship counseling via telehealth.
Self-pay
"I provide trauma-informed, anti-oppressive therapy for clients who live outside the box: queer, trans, polyamorous, kinky, neurodivergent, and more. " Currently accepting telehealth clients!
CHPW, Coordinated Care, and Molina
"I specialize in sexuality and gender therapy. I especially enjoy working with people who are questioning their gender and/or sexuality, practicing consensual non-monogamy, neurodivergent, sexual outsiders (kink/BDSM), LGBTQIA+, or experiencing changes in desire or sexual function. I see individuals (6 and older), couples, constellations, & family groups.
I know what it's like to feel as though problems are overwhelming and impossible to talk about. Sexuality and gender are central to our lives, yet often difficult to discuss. As a counselor, my goal is to co-create a safe space with you, so you can reach your goals. I strive to provide a warm, judgment-free, anti-racist, affirming environment for you."
Self-pay/Out Of Network
"I am a queer, polyamorous, non-disabled, white, genderqueer, Jewish, United States born person." Currently accepting new relationship clients.
Self-pay
"I am a queer and neurodivergent affirming clinician whose practice is rooted heavily in grief work and identity exploration."
