About me
My entire career has revolved around working with families and individuals dealing with life. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Georgia, I have 10 years experience helping families navigate their way through conflicts caused by divorce, separation, grief, abuse, depression and anxiety. In addition, I have 20 years experience teaching and working with adolescents and their parents. Having lived the life of teacher, mom and wife, I understand the stress many experience in balancing work and family. I'm a firm believer in setting boundaries and quality of life. My therapy environment is a nurturing, judgement -free zone. I am a Christian. I believe in grace and forgiveness -- just as Christ extends grace and forgives me daily. My client's actively participates in their treatment planning and wellness. It's your life. Be in charge of it.
My education includes a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy for Mercer University School of Medicine and an Educational Specialist degree from Georgia Southern University.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Pamela Smith. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've tried in person therapy before buy you pick them based on convenience and schedule. Online therapy has matched me with someone who understands me and what I need. I'm in individual and couples therapy, so im trying to focus on me with Pamela but she also understands what im going through at home with my husband and the cause of my issues. I'm looking forward to treatment with her.
