I really like talking to Pam. This is my first time trying counseling, so I was kind of nervous at first and didn't know what to expect. With Pam though, I feel comfortable talking to her and talking to her has been helpful for me.

More about Pamela
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
I specialize in counseling for Depression, Anxiety, Pregnancy/Prenatal loss/Postpartum, and Dietary impact on mood. I have a diverse clinical counseling background providing counseling services to adults. I am passionate about the mind and body counseling experience. I understand the roll thoughts play on our interpretation of the world. I provide a soothing and compassionate environment that focuses on enhancing ones self, thoughts, and confidence. I believe in meeting individuals where they're at and navigating challenging life events together. Throughout my years of experience I have worked with individuals encouraging and providing awareness into their symptoms, thoughts/feelings, and actions. By recognizing what dynamics are contributes to our current state the process of change can begin.
In addition to counseling, I have experience with crisis evaluation, Inpatient and Outpatient mental health hospitalization, and individuals with developmental disabilities. I have worked in Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) facilitating groups for support, compassion, substance abuse/sobriety, and patient prosperity.
I am a dedicated clinician that believes everyone can live a peaceful and joyful life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
