My name is Elizabeth Penniston, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a degree from Saint Louis University. Throughout my academic journey, I dedicated myself to gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which led me to complete my practicum and supervision at a respected Domestic Violence organization. This experience has allowed me to work closely with individuals who have faced challenging and complex situations, further enhancing my skills in trauma-informed care, advocacy, and therapeutic support.

I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and effective mental health care, utilizing evidence-based practices, and fostering a safe environment for my clients. My work has instilled in me a profound understanding of the unique needs of those affected by domestic violence and the importance of empowering individuals as they navigate their healing journey.

I've been doing this work for over 20 years — not because it's a career, but because I genuinely believe that understanding yourself changes everything. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, certified hypnotherapist, and trained in neuropsychotherapy and mindfulness-based approaches. My focus is women and adolescent girls who are ready to go beyond symptom management and understand the deeper emotional patterns shaping their lives. I work with clients in Missouri via telehealth and see in-person clients in the Dexter area. I'm not a fit for everyone — I'm a fit for people who are ready to do real work.

If you're carrying trauma, living with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or OCD, or just need someone to help you stay accountable, I could be your person. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, and I recently started a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have lived experience with many things, so I understand trauma, and I'm open about my own mental health to help end the stigma around talking about it. In my wheelhouse is working with individuals, families, and children ages 6 and up. A little about me: yes, my name is really Kitten. I'm a mom to a daughter on the autism spectrum and to three dachshunds with larger-than-life personalities.
