Home-

Home has been a big theme in my life and I notice it has a lot of meaning for many other women, as well.

Being At Home In Our Bodies, Ourselves-

I come from a tall family. In first grade I was the youngest, but the tallest.

Throughout my life I would be noticed, regardless to whether I wanted to be.

Fortunately, I took up sports (tennis, running, martial arts, and dancing). But I still continued to struggle with my self-esteem. Throughout the years, I have found many helpful ways to embody greater self-worth.

Challenged to feel like we fit in, know what to say, are attractive, smart, and lovable is very common for women and together we can learn to embrace and overcome this common struggle.

Home Is Where The Heart Is-

I grew up in Amherst, Ma, in a one-family house in a quiet neighborhood, for the first 18 years of my life. Where we reside, and who with really shapes who we are and how we live.

I certainly had a stable, grounded upbringing yet longed for travel, diversity, and had deep compassion for other ways of dwelling. I spent five years working with those who were homeless, another 5 with those who were incarcerated. I built alternative shelters and traveled extensively.

In many ways life has felt more real experimenting with other types of Home-Settings, even though sometimes less predictable. What kind of living environment we choose or has chosen us, can be the difference between a sanctuary, a place of retreat vs a stressful, chaotic, Home-Life.

I find I get a lot of fulfillment from helping women to create their own peaceful abodes. It may only need be a shift in one’s mind, or an increase in how we manage the stress and chaos of Home.

Being At-Home where we spend much of our downtime is crucial for our sanity and our renewed ease in the world when we venture out.

Health-

I have been ‘healthy’ most of my life. Free from sickness and disease. Until I hit my 50’s, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. 6 years later, after surgery and a complete lifestyle change there is no cancer detected.

To become ‘Healthy’ again I needed to not only change my food & lifestyle choices, but equally as important, my mindset.

How we deal with stress, anger, resentment, trust, forgiveness and sadness, has a huge impact on the longevity of our lives, our organs, our nervous system, and our vitality overall.

To be healthy requires our whole Mind, Body, and Spirit. It’s an ongoing work-in-progress. We can start with being kind to ourselves and from there we can start making changes that stick, because we genuinely care about our wellbeing.

I help women get back their desire to be well, so they can have lots of energy, feel good about their bodies, and have an ongoing thirst for life.

Connections-

I was born with a very shy disposition. Big crowds overwhelmed me. When my mom brought in our puppy for show-and-tell in first grade, I froze. I put my head down on the desk and was paralyzed to speak.

I’ve come a long way since then. I’ve spoken to big audiences, managed over a dozen Bachelor’s-level Mentors, Supervised countless Master’s-level students, and have run my own private practice for 20+ years.

In all situations where I went beyond my comfort zone I was motivated by the desire to feel connected.

When I am a vital part of my community, I feel plugged in, like I belong, and that is worth the awkwardness I feel in overcoming my shyness, each time.

Being connected can also mean, not feeling lonely when we find ourselves alone. It can mean being connected to the wind blowing, and birds singing when we are outside, connected to a piece of art when we are listening to great music, connected to our peace of mind when we are sitting still, or doing some mindless task. Connection is a state of mind that can include others or not.

Many women come to me feeling alone, disconnected from themselves and others. Together we will discover how unalone we really are and can become.

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs;

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Reviews

Several years ago, I was looking for additional support during a challenging time in my life. My search led me to Pamelah ; and I am eternally grateful it did.
Through years of reliable and consistent meetings, we’ve developed a strong therapeutic relationship. Whether we’ve taken our sessions for a walk, or spent the time highlighting all there is to be grateful for, each meeting has yielded great insight.
Pamelah creates a comfortable and safe space where I am free to come as I am and express my truth. She listens with an open heart.
Initially I came for support during an isolated incident, but I have remained with her for more than five years because I found a trusted confidant to walk with me on my journey of personal development.

A testimony from a dear female client, recently 🙏🏻 I am so glad we get each other and I am able to be there for her ❤️

I was going through lots of change in life, as we all do, as well as some struggles in my personal relationships. I felt so overwhelmed and like I really needed someone to talk to. I was reluctant to talk to a therapist but happy I found Pam.
Pam has been so supportive, encouraging and honest with me, helping me stay level headed and honest with myself. Her guidance and perspective always help me get my mind clear when it was previously in a fog. I have shared more with her than anyone, including my closest friends. I didn’t expect to feel so comfortable but she makes me comfortable. I can tell she listens with an open mind without judgment- just curiosity, as she is thinking of ways to offer insight or helpful suggestions or perspective. I would highly recommend Pam to anyone looking for a supportive and honest therapist. She truly cares about your comfort, personal growth and wellbeing.

Thank you!! I’m so grateful for being a part of this clients life-to witness her overcoming and blooming ❤️🙏🏻

Working with Pam over the last five years has really allowed me to accept, understand and appreciate myself, which is a first for me! She is a fantastic person, with so much to give. Pam allows you to work through what’s going on, while providing the feedback, advice and questions you need! I really can’t thank her enough!

I had the privilege to meet Pamelah two years ago. She is committed to mental and physical health and vitality.
