Schedule Appointment

You've taken the first step in being proactive with your self-care. You should be proud. It's great to meet you.

My name is Pamela Brider; I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker. I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background, including people with trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship problems. I have a broad range of clinical experience working with individuals, families, and groups across many domains of life and in many clinical areas. I enjoy working in collaboration with multidisciplinary staff to solve complex traumas. Social work is not what I do. It's who I am!

What you can expect from our first session
My clients typically tell me how much better they feel after one session. Rapport is being built initially, and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust-based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable. Mostly, clients tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend but realize there has been growth in the conversation.

Treatment Approach: A bit about my approach to therapy
One size does not fit all; there are many approaches to one problem. I am Client-Centered, and I utilize client-centered therapeutic approaches to problem-solving, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I take a positive and holistic approach to therapy and life in general. I think finding balance in your life is essential, starting with improving self-esteem and good self-care. I like a person-centered approach, meaning you are in charge; we go at your speed, and things should always be comfortable for you during therapy. Although circumstances sometimes make you uncomfortable and uneasy, you will feel safe.

Age Groups: Children 6+, Preteens, Teens, Adults, Elders (65+)

Specialties: I present myself to you as a licensed mental health therapist, crisis consultant, and substance abuse counselor with nearly 25 years of experience. I am passionate about helping others recover from multiple difficult life circumstances, improving their well-being, and enhancing the knowledge of clinicians who work in clinical care. With an undergraduate degree in human services and a master's degree in mental health counseling/ Social work, I combine my knowledge and skill set in unique ways to analyze and synthesize complex concepts into practical applications that people can relate to at all levels. I am often told that my relatability puts people at ease and makes me highly approachable in my practice.
