How does one belong and feel connected to others without giving up their true selves? How does one find one's place and purpose in this world? How does one take their most cherished values and use them to find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives? These questions emerge at different points in one's lifetime and can easily be drowned out by life's events (ex. breakups, school issues, life transitions, trauma). I help pre-teens, teens, young adults and full-fledged adults with these questions. I'm a seasoned mental health therapist who has worked in variety of hospital, community mental health and school health settings.

Specialist in Neurodivergence, Autism, NVLD, ADHD, Family Systems, and Complex Trauma. I work with neurodiversity issues such as coaching young adults with “high-functioning” autism, family psychoeducation, and couples' counseling where one partner is on the spectrum and the other is neurotypical. I utilize Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), a Systems approach, and secure bonding theory. Working from a strengths-based model, I prefer the term "Differences" over labels like "Disorders" or "Disabilities." People are more than a diagnosis; I take an holistic view of clients' needs. www.headway.co/providers/pamela-mazza

How we manage and cope with stress can have a profound effect on both our medical health and mental health. In turn, our medical health can impact our mood, anxiety, and ability to cope.

The connection between mental health, physical health and life satisfaction is the cornerstone of my work toward emotional well-being. Finding a balance among these aspects of self can be difficult and challenging.

Tired of all the "talk, talk" therapy? Couples and Individuals - Thoughts, without knowing what you're feeling or being aware of body sensations is often a false narrative. Lasting change requires accessing the whole body. The body's expression of feelings and emotions may conflict with what we "think" we believe or feel. A whole-person approach is a more present moment indicator of feelings, emotions and thoughts. I can help you learn to access that important mind/body connection. This approach will guide you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and help you to mindfully experience a more fulfilling and happier life.
