Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.
I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College in 2007 and bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across a wide range of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home therapy, residential treatment, juvenile justice programs, school-based services, and as a school adjustment counselor. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being across the lifespan. While my background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, and families, my practice is primarily focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating life's challenges. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Drug & Alcohol Counselor with 8 years of experience working with adults. I specialize in substance use disorders, crisis intervention, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders — areas I approach with both clinical rigor and genuine compassion. I work exclusively through telehealth, which means you can connect with me from wherever you feel most at ease. My practice is intentionally small, so I can give each person the focused time and attention they deserve. I come to this work having seen the real impact that burnout, stigma, and lack of support can have — and I believe everyone deserves care that meets them where they are.
Amy Penny is a passionate and dedicated therapist who believes that every person holds limitless potential and inner strength waiting to be discovered. Drawing from her own experiences of overcoming adversity and her clinical expertise, Amy creates a safe and supportive space where individuals feel empowered to connect with their inner resources and move toward growth and healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hingham
Searching for therapists in Hingham starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. Therapists can support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Hingham therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A bio may note approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
Hingham is a smaller South Shore community, so nearby in-person options may depend on office location, schedule, and availability. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Massachusetts while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your options, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and session structure.
Therapy in Hingham can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists, check whether your insurance coverage is available for your specific plan and location, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from available appointments. You can browse therapists in Hingham, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
