Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and family struggles. Over the years, I’ve supported families facing tough transitions, kids on the autism spectrum, and people who are trying to rebuild after life has knocked them down.
My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and focused on helping you feel stronger and more hopeful. In our sessions, you’ll have space to be heard without judgment while we work together to move toward the goals that matter most to you.
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 Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 9 years of medical & behavioral health social work experience supporting a wide range of issues including life transitions, health issues, grief, caregiver stress, and emotional challenges. As an LCSW, I take a whole-person approach - recognizing that our mental health is shaped not just by what's happening inside us, but also by our relationships, environment, culture, and life experiences.
I specialize in trauma-informed care for survivors of trauma including sexual assault, domestic violence, and sex trafficking.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Delaware
Searching for therapists in Delaware starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs and location. Options can vary across urban and rural parts of the state, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Practical fit matters, too. A therapist in Wilmington, Dover, or Newark may offer in-person sessions, while virtual appointments can add more options across Delaware. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and what their profile says about session style. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first session.
The cost of therapy in Delaware can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, and see an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
