Craig Penner

At Craig Penner, LMFT, we are committed to providing a unique and effective approach to psychotherapy, consultation, and training. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 40 years of experience, I have developed a specialty in process-oriented somatic therapy, blended with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Our approach is centered around understanding the natural processes that govern human behavior and development. By focusing on the present moment and the body's natural responses, we can help individuals overcome a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Our approach is built upon a deep trust in the body's ability to heal and integrate traumatic experiences. We recognize that the body holds a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, and by tuning in to this wisdom, we can facilitate a more efficient and effective therapeutic process.

With a focus on process-oriented somatic therapy, we combine techniques from somatic experiencing, Hakomi, and other body-focused psychotherapies to create a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing. We also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to access the natural drive for completion and integration.

Our services include:

Individual Therapy: We offer individual therapy sessions for adults, children, and adolescents struggling with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and more.

Couples Therapy: We provide couples therapy sessions for individuals committed to working through the challenges of their relationship, including communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution.

Group Consultations: We offer group consultations for other therapists, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of process-oriented therapy and somatic experiencing.

Trainings and Workshops: We provide trainings and workshops in process-oriented psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, and EMDR for therapists and mental health professionals.

Consultation Services: We offer consultation services for therapists and mental health professionals looking to deepen their understanding of process-oriented therapy and somatic experiencing.

Our approach is rooted in a deep respect for the human body and its ability to heal and integrate traumatic experiences. By working with the body and movement, we can facilitate a more efficient and effective therapeutic process.
