My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a Licensed Clinician, I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice for several years. While this is not the only treatment modality that is exclusively used in my practice, however it is widely used and has helped numerous clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. During your treatment, we will use CBT to help you recognize how your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors influence each other. You will then learn how to utilize that knowledge in changing your thinking patterns which will help you cultivate a less anxious and stressed life.

Best therapist I had so far. She was so direct honest & had a warm motherly feelings towards her. I cried my first session with her. I realized it was the pain I was feeling that I never let out & speaking with her for such a small amount of time she was able to bring it out. She’s amazing & I look forward to our next meeting. She already gave me solution to help me grow in areas we spoke about.

I just had my first session with Pamela Peoples. I must say that she is AMAZING! It can be challenging to find a comfortable fit for a therapist. But she was a comfortable perfect match for me. I am looking forward to my healing to improve my mental health with her. I think that her knowledge from her many years of professional experience will help me to easily get through this portion of my journey.
