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 25 years.  My love for helping people learn how to help themselves and redirect their thoughts and feelings to give them more happiness and contentment with life, led me to finishing my life long dream  of becoming a licensed counselor in addition to my social work role.  With the encouragement of a loving husband and my kids being grown and also encouraging me to go for it, I finally had the time to work toward my goal.  

       


        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 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  brought me to work  with adults of all ages due to the circumstances affecting relationships with family and friends.  I am a wife, a mother of two young adult children, a mother-in-law, 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!
