Lynn Pendergrass
LBSW, MA, LPC
Are you searching for someone to listen to you? For many years, I have heard over and over clients say, “Thank you, I have just been wanting someone to listen to me - to hear me”. I have always felt led to sit and listen when a client went from answering assessment questions to opening up and spilling their heart. Assessment is essential to begin building a relationship between a client and counselor. However, I believe listening is just as important.
I have been a licensed social worker for over 30 years. My love for helping people learn how to help themselves, redirect their thoughts and feelings to gain more happiness and contentment, led me to begin graduate school for my Master’s in Counseling in 2016. While continuing to work full-time in the rehab hospital, I was able to complete my lifelong dream of becoming a licensed professional counselor in addition to my social work role. With the encouragement of a loving husband and supportive adult children, encouraging me, I was able to work toward my goal and become a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2022.
With my clients over the years, I have gained experience in helping them work through stress, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, job loss, marital problems, physical limitations and/or disabilities, as well as long-term life-altering situations. These situations often affect not only the individual but also their relationships with friends and family. I have spent many years working with the senior population in nursing facilities, rehabilitation hospitals, and in their own homes. These situations led me to work with adults of all ages, as they were affected by circumstances that strained relationships with family and friends. I am a wife, a mother, a mother-in-law, a grandmother, a sister, and a daughter myself. I understand and know how family dynamics affect an individual’s physical and emotional health in all aspects of their daily lives. I am currently taking adult clients of all ages, and I look forward to working with you!
