Pamela Patey

I have been a licensed professional clinical counselor (LCPC) for the last 19 years. I received my Masters of Science degree from the University of Baltimore in 2002. I got my supervisory clinical license in 2011 to help new practioners in the field of mental health. I have worked in a variety of settings, but my longest tenure was in a community outpatient mental health agency, where I was fortunate enough to work with a diverse population of patients. I have specialization and certifications in parenting and co-parenting training. I am also trained in CISM (critical incident stress management) for PTSD and problems associated with traumatic events. I enjoy helping people work through depression, anxiety and general life stressors as well. I am trained to work with clients on trauma through TF-CBT, as well as- attachment models of care. I have also worked as a therapist for executive business leaders. I have also had experience working with transitional age individuals from 18-25 years old, helping individuals find their place in the world and making a plan for their future. My experience offers depth and diversity to any individual that seeks counseling with me. I have a humanistic approach and I understand that everyone is trying to do the best they can at this thing called life. I want to meet any new patient where they are and will work to encourage positive change. I help people identify underlying causes of symptoms and provide strategies for changing unwanted thoughts and behaviors. I hope to equip you with the skills to manage symptoms, reduce stress, and improve your quality of life. I will help you learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching your goals.
