My name is Pamela and I have been a Social Worker for 30 plus years. I hold independent Social Work licenses in the states of Massachusetts, Florida and South Carolina and have worked primarily with teens, adults and seniors. My priority is providing a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment for us to work on building the therapeutic relationship. Through this alliance, we identify and address unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviors, which in turn leads to greater self-understanding, connectedness and allows barriers to be broken down and goals met.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session, much of the time is spent talking about how the client has been feeling and what brought them into therapy. I ask questions and actively listen to better understand their perspective and how their life experiences have impacted them. We will also explore what they are looking to get from this process, what aspects of their life that they are struggling with, and how we can best address those challenges together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have always been interested in the how and why of human behavior such as what motivates us, what gets us stuck, how do we move forward and reach our goals... As a therapist, I look forward to partnering with clients in understanding their personal journey and how to help them become the best version of themselves. In my work with clients, I strive to create an open, non-judgmental and safe environment. I take an inquisitive and curious approach using warmth, compassion, empathy and even sometimes humor. I provide a safe welcoming space for clients to talk about whatever is important to them, to better understand their history, what has worked, or not worked in the past. I endeavor to develop a collaborative relationship where we work together to address barriers and achieve identified goals.
