I saw Maria Pennefather as a client through a church I attended. She had an office at my church and advertised her services as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the weekly parish bulletin. In the seven years I attended this church, I noticed her ad for "compassionate, confidential therapy" was posted there every week with the letters "MFT" after her name. I was very unimpressed with her approach as a therapist and only saw her once. Later, I learned from talking with other members of my parish that others were not happy with her services either and one former client said she seemed "off." I contacted the Alabama Board of Examiners in Marriage and Family Therapy to check her credentials. To my shock, I was informed that Mrs. Pennefather NEVER held a license to practice therapy in the state of Alabama. I then called the licensing board in Pennsylvania where Mrs. Pennefather is from. Her MFT license had expired in 2009. In this profession as in many others, a license to practice must be renewed every two years. If you move out of state, you must apply for a new license to practice in your new state of residence. That entails taking the required tests and paying a fee. For some reason she didn't bother to do so.
