About Pam:
I've been helping individuals and families work through a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, PTSD,
and relationship difficulties. In my practice, I use a caring and interactive approach. Depending on clients' needs, I provide a combination of different therapeutic interventions, including Mindfulness, CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), mind-body interventions, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Focused family therapy, HAES (Health at Every Size approach), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed treatment, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Objectives for therapy are unique to each person, and so during the first few sessions, I work with each client to identify goals for therapy. During the course of treatment, I endeavor to help people improve self-knowing and self-curiosity, to find their hidden strengths, and to restore balance to their lives.
I specialize in two areas:
· Treating individuals and families struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating
· Helping individuals heal from the effects of trauma and PTSD.
My experience includes work at various levels of care including residential programs, day treatment, and outpatient settings, where I provided assessment and psychotherapy for individuals, groups, and families. Previously, I was employed at Glenhaven Academy, a long-term residential program for adolescents struggling with issues stemming from childhood traumas. I also held clinical positions at the Cambridge Eating Disorder Center and Monte Nido Laurel Hill, both comprehensive eating disorder treatment programs in the Boston area.
