Penelope Surber

Penelope Surber is a Florida clinician with eight years of experience, including six years working as an adult trauma therapist at a recovery center. She holds the credential FL LMHC MH21834, which indicates a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, mid-life transitions, abandonment issues, empty-nester adjustment, coping with addictions, motivation, grief, good girl trauma, codependence, and building confidence. She has also supported many women who experienced childhood trauma, including all forms of abuse.

Penelope offers a warm, person-centered, and interactive therapy style grounded in respect, sensitivity, empathy, and compassion. She does not rely on stigmatizing labels and adapts treatment to each person’s needs. Her approach draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical behavioral, psychodynamic, gestalt, solution-focused, and rational-emotive therapies, and she tailors dialogue and treatment plans to the individual.

She recognizes that asking for help and beginning therapy takes courage, and she is committed to supporting clients who seek greater fulfillment and growth. If someone is ready to take those first steps toward change, Penelope is available to provide support and empowerment. She looks forward to working with new clients.
