“After many life changes in a short period of time I was thankful to have found Pam. I lost 2 nephews suddenly at the age of 19, and my mother in law to a cancer fight in the span of 7 months. Trying to navigate life after death and losses has been extremely challenging. Pam is a great listener she helps digest thoughts, feelings and the big emotions while understanding how impactful these resources are! Pam is truly a gem. I’m thankful for our sessions together”

Getting to know Pam Vance

Hi there, I'm Pam! I have been licensed for over 20 years and am passionate about helping clients walk through this journey called life. I believe each person has the ability to overcome challenges, and my goal is to help him or her get back on track. My approach I believe each client has strength and worth. I work with individuals to realize their potential, overcome obstacles such as stress, worry, and depression, and enrich their relationships with loved ones. I collaborate with clients to develop treatment goals and help them achieve them. Using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and other modalities, I help clients see how recurrent negative thoughts can be self-defeating. I provide interventions to replace dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors with healthy ones. I look forward to meeting you and assisting with your individual goals. I will walk beside you every step of the way! My focus My “ideal” client is any individual motivated for self-improvement and ready to address past or present experiences that have negatively impacted them emotionally. My communication style I would describe myself as somewhat more directive than many therapists. Although I listen intently and work collaboratively, I tend to offer direct interventions and tools that I believe will help clients with thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and relationships. My journey to therapy I have always loved people and have had a passion for helping others. I earned my bachelor's degree at Cal State Fullerton and my master's degree in Counseling Psychology at Pepperdine University. I became a licensed marriage and family therapist in 2000. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of treating clients from all walks of life, including those with substance-related issues, mood disorders, relationship problems, and those going through divorce and custody disputes.
