Sarah Penley

LCSW, LADC, CCS

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Certified Clinical Supervisor offering therapy via telehealth at Alternative Wellness Services. Whatever your reason is for seeking therapy, my goal is to act as your partner in helping you become the very best version of yourself by revealing your inner strength and potential. Counseling is not meant to be a slog – it can be fun, fulfilling, joyful, and rewarding! Sure, you might cry, but I hope you will also laugh and smile plenty along the way. My therapeutic style is warm and radically empathetic and uses evidence-based practices to collaborate with you on your unique needs. I look forward to hearing how I can support you.
