Dr. Penny Brower , LCPC

—About

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practising in Illinois, with 34 years of clinical experience.

I received my doctoral degree from The University of Iowa.

I worked for 8 years with the Air National Guard.

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Method, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.

I always welcome feedback regarding what has been helpful, as well as not helpful, so that methods can be adapted to achieve the best results, and when describing people, my least favorite word is NORMAL.

I can help you explore the decision-making processes and life events that have led you to this place.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on stress and anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, depression, and ADHD.

I have worked for over 30 years helping individuals and couples become more intentional and response-able in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and I began my career doing in-home therapy with complex, multi-problem families.
