Hi. I'm Pam and I am a mental health counselor. I enjoy working with people from a holistic approach specifically focused on the mind, body, and spirit connection to effect and attain harmony in one's life. I utilize a combination of techniques such as guided meditations including imagery and visualization, breathwork, and other relaxation techniques coupled with other Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT) that are effective in managing a multitude of issues. I have found it is especially effective for people coping with depression, stress, and anxiety, difficulties manifesting a positive self-image, and attaining a balanced life. I have been told I "provide action-oriented and goal-directed services that effect change." and that I have "a way of presenting information that is gentle and compassionate." I believe we all need gentle compassion at some time in our lives. I enjoy working with people who are vested in self-exploration to see how they can respond differently to challenges in their lives to effect positive outcomes. "The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude."-Oprah Winfrey "The measure of intelligence is the ability to change'"-Albert Einstein. I look forward to working WITH you to effect positive change.
We will identify what areas are to be addressed and provide action-oriented solutions to these issues. I have been told I am very empathetic and understand what a person is coping by usually being able to hone in on what the underlying issues are. I provide tasks to engage in at each session to practice in-between sessions and build momentum to attain the overall goal.
I am told I am action-oriented and goal-directed while providing support and holding space for others.
I work with adults looking to make changes in their life to improve personal growth. I have experience working with all populations including adults, geriatric, brain injury, women's issues such as menopause, LGBTQI, grief/loss, life transitions, career/workplace issues, etc.
I have training in Cognitive Behavioral, Behavior Modification, Somatic, and Mindfulness techniques.
I assist in reframing and taking alternative perspectives that facilitate seeing alternative solutions.
I utilize a mind-body approach to assist by paying attention to the cues our body gives us and how to address from a body perspective such as breathing exercises, meditation, and other related techniques.
Focusing on solutions to our problems by addressing them incrementally allows one to tackle what can sometimes feel insurmountable and overwhelming.
