Shaly Penrod is a Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan who has been practicing since 2022.
Being content, comfortable, and at peace with oneself is something many, if not all, wish to feel and experience. As a therapist that has walked alongside the journeys of individuals from diverse walks of life, Shaly seeks to empower individuals to be curious about oneself in order to live a life that brings you closer to understanding your past and fears of the future in order to live a present self-life. For many years Shaly has worked with diverse populations, spanning many different cultures and ethnicities. With Spanish being her native language, Shaly has had the privilege of working with many individuals from Spanish speaking countries. Her approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, culturally sensitive, and person centered. Shaly uses several different approaches to best fit your individual needs and to empower you in knowing yourself as complete, whole, and safe.
Outside of work, Shaly enjoys road cycling, volleyball, music, indoor plants, and gardening.
