Craig Penner

At Penner Psychotherapy, we are dedicated to providing a unique and transformative approach to therapy. Our founder, Craig Penner, LMFT, is a seasoned therapist with over 40 years of experience in the field. With a strong focus on process-oriented somatic therapy, blended with EMDR, we strive to help individuals overcome a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family dynamics, and more.

Our Approach

At the heart of our approach is a deep trust in the natural drive towards completion and resolution that exists within each of us. We believe that by engaging with the present moment and utilizing our natural abilities, individuals can access a profound sense of freedom and well-being. Our method is rooted in a non-interpretative engagement, which trusts in the inherent wisdom of the body and nervous system to guide the therapeutic process.

Services

Our services include:

• Process-oriented somatic therapy for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family dynamics, and more.
• EMDR therapy, which utilizes bilateral stimulation to access the natural processing of traumatic experiences.
• Couples therapy that focuses on understanding the intricate dynamics of committed relationships and finding ways to grow and improve communication.

Trainings and Consultations

In addition to our therapeutic services, we offer workshops and trainings in process-oriented psychotherapy with a somatic focus, as well as utilizing EMDR and variations of bilateral stimulation to access natural processing. We also provide consultations for other therapists, both in-person and remotely via Zoom.
