About
Hi! My name is Scotia Penoyer, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I'm based in Chicago, IL. I have experience working with families, individuals, and individuals who struggle with substance use, as well as depression, anxiety, and trauma. I approach therapy as a supportive and encouraging space for people to explore any issues they may be struggling with. In my free time, I love exploring the city and hanging out with my two cats.
I find that my therapeutic approach fits best with adults and teenagers. I use an eclectic approach, but I generally pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as mindfulness in order to find the best fit.
I work with clients to create measurable and attainable therapy goals together and seek to support clients in making progress each session. In my sessions, I try to create a supportive and inviting environment. My communication style I seek to maintain in my sessions is one of calm, openness, and understanding.
