Hello! Thank you for taking the time to consider working with me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been in the Mental Health and Substance Use field for 21 years. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of issues. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, substance use, Men's issues, and relationship stress. I hope that we can connect and work towards removing your barriers and achieving your goals.
Welcome, I'm Pam! I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions. I work particularly well with women who struggle with low self-esteem, people-pleasing patterns, and fear of disappointing others. I provide a comfortable space to help clients set healthy boundaries, build confidence, and embrace their authentic selves so they can pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life. With a master's degree from New York University School of Social Work and 17 years as an experienced clinician, I am here to help if you're struggling with anxiety, fear of disappointing others, or unhealthy relationship patterns.
I provide virtual therapy for clients in Connecticut and Florida. My primary specialty is anxiety and related disorders. I teach my clients applicable coping skills to help manage emotions better. I also help my clients to improve self-esteem, learn to set boundaries, and reach their goals in life. You don’t have to have the perfect words, the perfect mood, or the perfect version of yourself when you show up. Simply come as you are.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist who provides medically-oriented treatment for depression, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, and Attention Deficit disorder. I pride myself as using non-addictive medications as much as possible. As a physician (MD) with a background in psychology, medicine, and neurology, my care is above average compared to providers without this background.
My approach is laser-focused, precision medication management. In addition to my clinical expertise, I mentor medical students, residents, and fellow providers. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Frank Netter School of Medicine. I plan to use all my clinical skills to help people achieve the maximum improvement in mental health.

I hope we can work through this time together making this journey as helpful and special as possible. My passions have always aligned with helping others and listening in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and curious way. I find real change occurs when a person can fully explore their life in a holistic way. Whether it is current mental health symptoms or past traumas holistic healing is possible for everyone.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
I help women move through fear, self-doubt, and old patterns so they can step into clarity, confidence, and fulfillment — both personally and professionally.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Stamford
Searching for therapists in Stamford starts with finding the right clinical fit for what you want support with. Therapists may specialize in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a Stamford therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you identify approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Stamford has local therapy options across areas like Harbor Point, Turn of River, Springdale, and nearby Fairfield County communities, but appointment availability can vary by office location and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want more flexibility or have limited access to an in-person therapist nearby. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.
Therapy in Stamford can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Stamford, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
