Hi, my name is Pam. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LMHC, LCMHC) and Certified National Counselor (NCC) in the state of South Carolina North Carolina and Florida. Since I became a counselor at a college in 2015, I have become an expert in my field of working with young women and I LOVE IT! I have been able to assist many students through empowerment and retraining of their brains to move forward and create the life they desire, rather than the life they "should" have. I believe anyone and everyone can benefit from DBT; learning better communication skills, how to feel and manage their emotions, how to deal with distress that happens in all of our lives, and most important; how to be present and authentic in our own life. No matter if you are dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship, family or any issue these skills can change your life if you try. I am also a trauma therapist using an innovative technique called EMDR. Trauma can be anything that holds us back or has a lasting emotional triggering that affects us on a conscious or sub conscious level. The therapy is meant for healing, not coping. Many times depression and anxiety are results of negative events that are stuck in our brains and the cells of our bodies. What EMDR creates is a space to heal from what has happened to us, rather than just cope with it the rest of our lives. I very much look forward to working with you! See you soon.

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

Our first session will set the stage for how we will work together! Let's plan according to your needs. We will discuss what you are ready to change to create a life worth living, out of the misery and in to the hear and now. I will help you decide what goals you would like to achieve as we will make a plan.

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

Since I have worked with young adult females for 8 years, a few of my principal strengths include understanding, observation and non judgement. My job is to work myself out of a job by helping you get to where you want to be. You know yourself best; (even if you don’t think you do) and developing that self-empowerment is life changing.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My door is open and accepting to all women. My expertise and passion is working with the young adult female population. Spending 8 years, full time, in a 2 different college counseling centers, I get it! Psychotherapy can be a daunting experience to consider. You are investing time out of your life to take a look at a complex interplay of contexts which can include gender, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, cultural background, and family of origin. Your time is valuable and a therapist should "get" you - and get you going so make the choice that suits your needs and lets do a free 15 minute consult to see if we are a good therapeutic fit.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Learning life skills to create a "life worth living” is just what DBT does and I as an experienced therapist and user of the skills operate on the assumption that people are doing the best they can, want to do better, and need compassionate support in learning skills to create the lives they want to live. Learning mindfulness as well as managing emotions, coping with unexpected obstacles, and overcoming stressors is the goal that as a therapist I find extremely useful for myself and most clients if they are willing to embrace change.
