 Dr. W. H. Penewit raised as a Roman Catholic, accepted Jesus at 18 years old. He was a charter member of The Palos Verdes Faith Center in Palos Verdes California under Dr. Ed Dufresne in the mid 1970's. "It was there that the journey began" states Dr. Penewit. "I remember sitting in those services listening to Dr. Dufresne and seeing things take place that I thought were impossible". It was there that Dr. Penewit learned that nothing is impossible with Jesus.
"I learned that The Word works even during the most difficult circumstances", and at The Penewit Center, that belief is stronger than ever. Dr. Penewit incorporates this same faith in all of his sessions. Dr. Penewit's work with single and married adults and his research with these groups keep The Penewit Center in the forefront of faith based therapy. However, there are many that do not know that Dr. Penewit's work with children has been his heart his entire practice. Dr. Penewit remembers his childhood as one of joy as well as challenges. Today a child is in greater need of guidance than they have every needed before. The Penewit Center's work and research with Temperament and Children offers a spiritual aspect to your childs growth as well as every aspect of their lives. Dr. Penewit is researching new counseling models that deal with stress in people. Stress is seen as something that must be dealt with as a foe and not an accepted friend. Dr. Penewit does not see stress as a character builder, but something that CAN be dealt with successfully. Dr. Penewit realizes that stress can cause physical illnesses as well as mental illness. Having pastored for 6 years and been in ministry for many years, Dr. Penewit has a heart for Ministers and their families. He understands the "ins and outs" of ministry and the problems that ministers face on a daily basis. Dr. Penewit conducts in-depth sessions with pastors, helping to guide them through marriage difficulties. Ministers have different marital needs than other couples, and with that, The Penewit Center is very involved with "Life in a fishbowl" life of the pastoral family. Dr. Penewit's research in Temperament allows the client to see what really makes them tick, and how to capitalize on the strengths and work on the weaknesses |
