Exactly the type of therapist I needed in this phase of my life and treatment. Very experienced from both life and her decades of work in trauma therapy. She was fantastic at facilitating EMDR on a very large trauma for me, an untreated ADHD adult woman, which is no small feat. She understands neurodiversity and to have these 2 qualities in a therapist (trauma informed pro with extensive ADHD knowledge and experience) was invaluable to me. I am very thankful for her help.

Pamela is great, at times I just need someone to listen to me and at times I need feedback/advice. She’s very personable and I have really connected with her given similar experiences.

Pam is an amazing Christian woman who always has time to listen to your story. I learned a lot from her through EMDR and talking. I am happy I met her when I needed her the most. She also responds to messages promptly.

My experience with Pam has been amazing. She has literally helped me get my thoughts in order. I love her techniques . I feel so good after our sessions because she helps me to prioritize my issues and not just be all over the place.

Pamela Kesler is a God sent!! I’ve never met a therapist like her that has given me real results, using EMDR therapy. My anxiety, worries, and stresses have gone down just after 2 sessions. It is a miracle! She is a true professional, extremely knowledgeable, is a nurse, and I feel very comfortable with her in therapy. I was ready to give up on therapy until I met her! Her methods are scientifically based and her life story proved to me that it’s possible to heal.

Pamela is great! I appreciate her open, pragmatic, compassionate and approachable personality. She doesn't beat around the bush, and is flexible for what I want to focus on each session. I love hearing her stories and experiences, which really help me understand what is going on with me and feel attuned and seen.

I've been working with Pam on EMDR to relief me of my CPTSD. So far, it's been exactly what I needed.
I have defeated most of my stomach issues and now we are working on the issues in my neck and back. Emotionally I am working on my flashbacks, depression, anxiety and anger. Pam is smart and straightforward and I appreciate her expertise.
