Dr. Pamela Kennebrew

Dr. Pamela Kennebrew

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Let’s be honest — life doesn’t come with a manual. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone.

Hi, I’m Tammy — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore or a courtroom. It’s more like a conversation with someone who really gets it (and happens to be trained in evidence-based strategies that actually work).

In today’s world, it can be difficult to find the time and energy to slow down and make sense of what has brought you here.

We live with constant demands and expectations that our minds and bodies were never designed to sustain at such a rapid pace. Maybe you find yourself reacting from a place of overwhelm, becoming defensive without intending to, or pushing through exhaustion just to check the next box on an ever-growing list. Perhaps struggles from your past continue to show up in your present, leaving you wondering, “Why am I still dealing with this?” or “Shouldn’t I be over this by now?” If so, I want you to know that it doesn’t have to stay this way, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I am a therapist, but I am also a person who has experienced hardship, loss, and self-criticism. I understand what it feels like to be stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I partner with adults who are ready to heal from past wounds, deepen their self-understanding, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, emotional reactivity, or feelings of disconnection and withdrawal. Together, we work to understand your nervous system, build practical regulation skills, and gently process painful or unresolved experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based (IFS), integrating EMDR and traditional talk therapy to meet your unique needs.

Choosing to begin therapy takes courage, often more than people realize. While healing can be challenging, it is also deeply rewarding. Sometimes caring for yourself means doing difficult work now so that life feels more manageable later. I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Somerset, PA


I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.

I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.

Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.

My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.

I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.

Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Virtual • Bensalem, PA


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
