Therapists in Dallas, TX

I love people and I am a natural at talking with others and making them feel at ease. I have a lot of life experience, counseling experience and experience working with individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, age groups and mental health diagnoses. My goal is to help individuals soar with their strengths and overcome whatever trauma or difficulty that is keeping them from being productive, successful citizens of society.

Reaching out for therapy can be a scary and confusing process and yet we all need support and help at times. Whether it's navigating recent changes in your life or facing life changing or traumatic events, I am here to help you navigate through this process.

I believe each person has unique strengths and experiences to successfully navigate life's challenges. However, sometimes, we find ourselves feeling stuck: struggling with depression or anxiety, stressed by our many roles in life, overwhelmed by loss, or holding the pieces of broken relationships, unable to find a way out on our own. My goal is to create a collaborative, culturally-sensitive and compassionate space in which I offer personally-tailored interventions for your situation while working with you to identify and utilize your own strengths to bring about positive change in your life.

I believe working through the painful parts of life is a necessary step towards growth, however, making that first step can be daunting. It would be my honor to explore that next right step with you if you are experiencing unhappiness in relationships, problems with family members, feel stuck or immersed in conflict. We may invest a great deal of time and money in many things, but we neglect our own hearts. Yet our inner life affects all of our decision making. Therapy can help us discover our true, often neglected selves.

My name is Pam Slater, and my journey into the counseling field began when I was a High School English teacher, teaching young adults who were 3 years younger than myself. As a result, the students quickly found trust in me, and opened up to me about their personal issues. Having already completed my B.A. in English Education at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, I returned to school to obtain my Masters Degree in Counseling at Texas A&M University.

My goal is to guide clients toward an acceptance of themselves, and to a heightened ability to make positive changes in their lives. Instead of avoiding feelings, denying the pain, or trying to self-medicate emotions and memories... I assist clients to discover meaning in life, even when life is painful. I also work with dreams from a Jungian perspective; your dream is about you and about your future. I also believe in the healing power of humor. I am a licensed professional counselor, counselor supervisor, and a licensed minister.

Sometimes we need someone to join us on the difficult journey of life. I believe everyone deserves an opportunity to explore and improve upon themselves. I encourage clients to bring their genuine self to therapy. Together we will work from a holistic framework to help you achieve better emotional and mental balance. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is one founded on trust, safety, acceptance, understanding, and empathy; this alliance lays the groundwork for client growth. Every person is unique, and I approach therapy in a way that fosters that individuality. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults.

Most people seek counseling when they experience pain, feeling stuck in their lives and relationships. The patterns that have worked for them in the past are no longer working or a new life event confronts them with the need for change. Life is sometimes messy and complex as we navigate through the challenges of being a parent, having a career, being a caretaker and keeping our marriages thriving. In working with my clients, my goal is to help facilitate curiosity, while taking a holistic approach in identifying beliefs, patterns and behaviors that may be blocking them from achieving their goals.

Is your partner reluctant to come in counseling? Whether your relationship is old or new, I can help you learn how to communicate more effectively, heal pains and truly enjoy your journey together.
