I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience providing mental health support across diverse community settings. I have had the privilege of working with individuals ranging from young children to older adults, supporting them through a wide spectrum of emotional and behavioral challenges commonly described in the DSM-5-TR. I believe deeply in the inherent resilience and healing power within every person. My role is to help individuals uncover that strength, make sense of their experiences, and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. I pursue this work not for financial gain, but because I truly love what I do and feel honored to walk alongside others on their healing journey.

I listen and we learn to judge the behaviors in relation to your goals and ideal self. I approach our initial sessions with structure to allow for clarifying your goals. Once we have a sense of direction, we suspend judgement, and learn to explore your wants, fears, and desires in life. I bring in a calm and humorous approach to allow for different perspectives to emerge with the intent to find out our strengths and deficits to continue learning and discover yourself

Aporto un enfoque tranquilo y con humor para dejar que surjan diferentes perspectivas con la intención de descubrir nuestras fortalezas y déficits para aprende y descubrír más sobre ti mismo

I enjoy working with clients ages 16+, but most of my clients are 25-50. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and careers such as educators, engineers, nurses, students, stay at home parents and those between careers.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH and hold a Master degree from Xavier University. You can expect a safe and comfortable environment as we dialogue to help you sort through emotions. We may delve into your past but we won't dwell there because your energy is needed in the present moment as you look within yourself to find peace and the power to be your true self.

PLEASE NOTE: I am licensed in CO/FL/TX but accept insurance only in CO/FL/TX. Self pay option is available at $95 for in person sessions and $60 for tele-health.

Pennie Higdon

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly 30 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health needs. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My background includes on‐site work in psychiatric hospitals providing diagnostic assessments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, as well as extensive outpatient experience addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, substance use, trauma, adjustment disorders, and crisis intervention.

My clinical work also includes serving as a crisis counselor with the American Red Cross in Dallas during Hurricane Katrina, supporting displaced individuals and families through acute stress, grief, and major life disruption. In addition to my direct clinical roles, I spent nearly 25 years in managed care conducting nationwide clinical reviews for psychiatric and substance‐use facilities, strengthening my ability to assess complex cases, understand treatment systems, and advocate for appropriate levels of care.

While I have experience providing marital and family therapy, my primary focus is working with individuals who are seeking clarity, stability, emotional healing, and long‐term growth. I currently offer outpatient therapy and facilitate recovery‐focused groups in the Plano area, providing virtual care to clients throughout Texas.

My therapeutic approach integrates person‐centered interventions, motivational interviewing, reality‐based strategies, and—when desired—Christ‐centered counseling. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and belief systems, offering faith‐integrated care only when it aligns with the client’s preferences. My goal is to provide a supportive, grounded, and collaborative space where individuals can heal, grow, and build lasting change.
