Pamela

Pamela is a National Certified Counselor, who obtained her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas in 2013 and has since been dedicated to providing quality trauma therapy at various levels of care. With a background providing care in local, state and federal levels, she possesses a unique perspective that enriches her work with clients facing past trauma, first responders, military, and individuals with substance use challenges.

Central to her approach is the belief that the therapeutic process is a collaborative alliance, with clients considered experts in their own lives. Within this framework, clients can access their inner strengths to promote positive change. Pamela employs various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.  Her approach is holistic, addressing not only the immediate symptoms but also the underlying issues that contribute to clients' struggles.

A cornerstone of Pamela's therapeutic philosophy is her commitment to practicing with positive unconditional regard. She prioritizes creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely. By fostering an environment of acceptance and understanding, Pamela encourages individuals to open up and engage in the therapeutic process with trust and confidence.
