Pamela Blackwell, LMSW, PsyD

As a therapist, my goal is to assist clients with their desire to change, heal and grow. I have experience working with adults with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, developmental/ attachment trauma, self-esteem, body image, and phase of life problems. I also have interest in working with individuals with reproductive challenges (infertility, pregnancy loss, and post-partum issues), new parent adjustment, couples counseling, and severe mental illness. I utilize a client- centered approach, which offers multiple therapeutic techniques that meet the unique needs of the individual client. I believe it is essential for me to both understand and attend to culture and the intersectionality of cultural identities among the clients I provide services to, including, but not limited to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability/disability status, and SES. In addition to psychotherapy and consultation, I offer full comprehensive assessments for a better understanding of your cognitive, social and emotional functioning.
