My name is Pam Monjar, and I am a grief-informed Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee and West Virginia, National Certified Counselor (NCC), Grief Educator, and certified in death and bereavement studies.
Grief can touch every part of life—sleep, mood, relationships, even your sense of identity. In my practice, we hold space for both sorrow and resilience—honoring the pain of what’s been lost while making room for what is still possible. I will walk with you as you learn to carry grief in a way that invites growth, meaning, and even hope.

I work with many populations from addictions/ relapse prevention to life transitions and chronic illness to grief to PTSD/ stress/ anxiety/ mood disorders.
It can be difficult to reach out for help and even more difficult to admit that you could use some guidance. When you are struggling, having someone in your corner to help you overcome the hurdles in your journey can be helpful. I take a holistic approach, focusing on the symptoms you identify and how they affect you in all areas of your life. We will work as a team to figure out the root cause and find the healthiest ways to cope. The treatment plan will be individualized to YOU, as no two people are exactly the same. ​Much of our work together will focus on how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact with one another.

I also have expertise working with clients who are experiencing depression, grief/ loss, the unique challenges faced by the queer community, as well as distinct issues encountered by men in general.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, and frequently use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is the top-tier, evidence-based approach for the majority of anxiety disorders. With ERP, I help clients lean into their anxiety and distress in order to help clients learn how to better manage and cope with anxiety and discomfort.

Together, we identify specific life goals and generate plans to achieve them. Ultimately, you will come to understand that you make perfect sense; you may just not have been able to use this self-awareness to make the most productive decisions. I will work with you to identify underlying problems and patterns, as well as your personal strengths and resources.

What does a depressed tortilla say? "I don’t wanna taco ’bout it." I like to use a mixture of compassion, humor, and directness. I talk to people in a "real" way (not just cheesy "therapist" talk). I want you to feel truly seen and to share in some laughter, but I also want you to feel enough trust with me to be challenged out of your comfort zone a little - to try seeing or doing things in a different way so you can get closer to your goals/healing. I love helping people get past the things holding them back. I'm passionate about trauma, anxiety, and depression treatment.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
