I bring a diverse clinical background that includes work in child welfare, family therapy, trauma-informed care, and supporting survivors of sexual and physical assault. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Widener University and completed 3,200 hours of clinically supervised experience toward earning my LCSW license. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I regularly incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients build practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College, earned in 2014. This advanced training provides the foundation for my clinical expertise and commitment to ongoing professional development.
I believe in client-centered care and the power of therapeutic connection. My goal is to guide clients toward greater mental and emotional well-being, empowering them to overcome adversity and lead fulfilling lives. With compassion and expertise, I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.
I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.
I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.
Hi, my name is Dr. Lynn Rosenthal. I have many decades of experience helping people with issues presented. I have two Masters degrees and one doctorate in psychology. My experience varies assisting many with different issues within individual, couples, and marital counseling. I also provide clinical supervision and I am a Board Certified Executive Coach. I have afternoon and evening appointment available.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner who has worked across outpatient psychiatry, private practice, and long-term care. That range has shaped how I approach mental health: I believe every person's situation is unique, and I don't come in with a preset agenda. You can expect honesty, transparency, and a genuine commitment to understanding what you need. I'm building this practice on integrity, and my goal is to make sure you always know what's happening with your care and why.
Hello, my name is Dr. Pamela Wells-Elam. I have been working in the healthcare system with adults for the past 20 years. I have been a nurse practitioner for the past 8 years and hold a Doctoral degree in nursing practice, a master's degree in adult gerontology and psychiatric mental health.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of nursing experience, with the majority of my career spent in the emergency department. That experience has shaped me into a warm, direct, and nonjudgmental provider who understands that people often seek help during some of the most overwhelming moments of their lives.
I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood instability, overwhelming stress, and substance use. I believe mental health care should help you make sense of what you’re experiencing without leaving you feeling more overwhelmed.
I became a psychiatric provider because I wanted to help people quiet the crowded mind. Mental health challenges can make everything feel louder and harder to manage. My goal is to help you understand what may be contributing to how you feel, explore your treatment options, and develop a plan that feels manageable and individualized to you. I want treatment to create more clarity and more room for you to live your life.
Hello! As a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I bring over 10+ years of experience in psychiatric care. I earned both my bachelor’s and graduate degrees from New York University. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality, and comprehensive mental health services. My approach emphasizes individualized, patient-centered care that promotes emotional well-being, supports recovery, and empowers individuals to achieve optimal mental health.
My clients should know that I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who values compassion, respect, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I recognize that each person’s experiences, strengths, and challenges are unique, and I honor the courage it takes to seek mental health care. My goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to meet clients where they are in their journey.
