I really appreciate Pamela’s assistance in getting me to a better place, mentally, now compared to how I felt about a year ago!

In my first meeting with Pamela O'Brien, I immediately felt relaxed and confident that she cared about her clients. She listened to my goals and concerns and offered things I had never thought of or heard of before. I would highly recommend her!

The first therapist who gives me tools to heal myself. The first one to give me homework. She is prompt and compassionate and I have needed this my whole life.

She’s always there for me and she’s helped me get through a lot of grief of losing my mom. Teaching me healthy coping mechanisms and not judging me for my mistakes.

Pamela has a warm and welcoming energy, a no nonsense approach, she acknowledges feelings and hurt and creates a space where those feeling can exist and be examined. She offered advice and perspectives that gently challenge you, always coming from a place of love.
