Welcome, I'm Pam Altaffer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges and unlock their potential. I guide clients in releasing negative experiences and emotional triggers to create fulfilling lives, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. My compassionate approach provides skilled support for your healing journey. I use evidence-based techniques and innovative methods to facilitate the release of trauma and negative emotions, empowering you to take control of your healing process.
In therapy, you set the goals, and I serve as your supportive guide, helping you reconnect with your authentic self, free from the symptoms and struggles that may have been holding you back. Together, we’ll navigate the twists and turns of your journey with a sprinkle of humor and a whole lot of empathy.
People say that they feel deeply heard, accepted, and comfortable when working with me. They appreciate that no matter how disturbing the issue, I am not afraid, overwhelmed, or judgmental towards them. Together, we establish a foundational goal that acts as a guiding light, helping to illuminate the path ahead.
