Penn Shelton, Psychotherapist at Blackburn Clinical Services

About Penn

With over thirteen years of experience supporting individuals and families, Penn specializes in mental health, addiction recovery, trauma, relationships, and family dynamics. His work is grounded in both professional expertise and personal insight, drawing from his role as an addiction counselor since 2015, five years as a therapist, and more than fourteen years in his own recovery journey. Penn offers an integrated, trauma-informed approach rooted in attachment theory and holistic care.

He helps clients uncover the root causes of their challenges and develop practical tools to move forward. His therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, guiding clients toward their own truth rather than imposing external solutions. Penn incorporates evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to support emotional regulation, improve relationships, and cultivate resilience.

He empowers clients to connect their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in ways that foster growth, purpose, and self-understanding. Whether you’re navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties, Penn is committed to helping you rediscover your strengths, clarify your values, and build a more meaningful life.
