Welcome! I'm Pamela Watkins a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) deeply committed to helping individuals facilitate their healing journey. With a heart full of empathy and a client-centered approach, I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where you can explore, heal, and grow.

I specialize in helping adults who struggle with challenges spanning from early adulthood, to pregnancy and postpartum-related issues, and beyond. Change can be difficult, but it is attainable. Collaboratively, I help my clients through the use of evidence-based treatments to find ways to manage stress, anxiety, sadness, and despair.

Your feelings and experiences are valid and welcome here! I look to help clients in understanding their emotions and the role emotions play in everyday life. If you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, or being overwhelmed, I am here to help. If you are struggling with self-esteem and self-confidence, I am here to help. I have experience working with couples navigating difficulties in their relationship, including non-monogamous relationships. If you are experiencing difficulties relating to sexuality, sexual dysfunction, or sexual identity, you have come to the right place.

I am a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in psychotherapy, training, supervision, and research in multicultural counseling. My passion lies in making therapy more accessible, particularly for individuals from cultures where seeking psychotherapy is stigmatized. I specialize in offering culturally responsive and strength-based therapy services for individuals navigating identity issues, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I use an eclectic approach, integrating interpersonal, multicultural, psychodynamic, and CBT approaches.

Starting therapy can be a scary thing. You have to talk with a stranger about your most private worries. But somehow, if we make a connection, the therapy space feels like a safe place to talk and feel and be curious about your anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma or whatever nudges you to seek extra support. To me, therapy is all about exploring your inner landscape, finding helpful ways to soothe yourself, developing self-compassion, untangling old stuff that still gets in the way, and becoming empowered to make healthy choices. As hard as we work, we can laugh together, too! Laughter is good medicine.

A certain amount of worrying is normal, right? Anxiety and fear keep us out of harm’s way. However, it no longer serves us when anxiety and fear rule our days and nights, preventing us from living our lives to the fullest. Transitioning through life stages can bring about feelings of distress for all ages. I specialize in working across lifespans- adults, adolescents, and children. I am well trained to address distress built through anxiety, as it co-relates to depression, self-esteem, and trauma processing. I can help strengthen confidence in one’s ability to succeed with change.

Do you feel a lack of connection with self and others? I recognize that life can be challenging for many reasons and that asking for help and support is difficult. Self-reflection and developing coping skills alone can seem foreign and daunting, the good news is--you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to assist people in exploring interpersonal issues and ways to remove barriers, such as substance use and self-deprecating tendencies.

Does everyone depend on you to make decisions and solve their problems? Even when you are going through a rough time do your friends and family still ask you to do things for them because they are so used to you always being available? Is it easier to make what you want secondary? Does keeping the peace come at the expense of you not having a happy and fulfilling life? Do you lose your identity and not know who you are when you are in a relationship?

Everyone can benefit from being heard, validated, and supported during life transitions and challenges. I am skilled at building a therapeutic alliance with a focus on your goals and needs. I can also provide a framework for addressing your concerns and tools for managing depression, anxiety, and life challenges. If you are wondering whether to give therapy a try I encourage you to take the first step!
