Are you struggling with life and having a hard time pushing down the reality of what you have been through? Do you feel like you are in quicksand, and you will not make it if someone does not pull you out? I am here to help you stand on firm ground, develop faith in yourself, and passion to pursue your dreams. Sometimes we feel like a failure because we cannot do it on our own. You may have even been told that you should be able to get past "˜it'. But the truth is we all need help at times. I will partner with you in processing your pain and tapping into the greatness inside you.

Being passionate about people has put me in the position to see a variety of facets of life. I have seen pain and heartache. I have seen beautiful people sit in defeat and death. Death of dreams. Death of hope. Life has the ability to take our most precious resources and drain them. I have also felt the joy that comes from renewed hope. I want to partner with you as you seek out this hope and look for your beginning.

Journeys Counseling provides professional psychotherapy, vibrant living coaching, and spiritual direction to the community. Our work is interdenominational, serving clients from many different backgrounds, including those who have little or no religious affiliation. As a Christian organization we believe counseling should address the whole person and be respectful of people’s faith. Individual’s beliefs are both an important part of their lives and a valuable resource when experiencing distress. Counseling should assist in developing those resources further. Often, people lack support systems that help deal with personal problems.

Stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed? You may be burned out from dealing with the same problem for years; you may be overwhelmed with problems from all sides; or you may be facing a new, life-changing situation and have no idea how to deal with it.

Delene Penix, LPC is an experienced, caring, and straight-forward counselor who is here to support you through hard times and teach you new coping skills when faced with new and challenging situations.
