“My therapist is great and encouraging. I appreciate having her incredible support. The Tava platform though lags in video/audio sync. I've turned off a few of my devices to lessen the load on my Wifi. It helps somewhat, but the lag pops in.”

Getting to know Pamela Chowayou

Pamela Chowayou is Founder of Grounded Mental Health Counseling. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs at Baruch College and the Alliance Graduate School of Counseling. She completed her graduate clinical internship training at The Market Street Mission and The Bowery Mission. In addition to her private counseling practice, Pamela currently works as a psychotherapist in an outpatient mental health clinic. Her licenses and credentials include Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), National Certified Counselor Board Certification (NCC), and Diagnostic Privilege (D). Her counseling approach is solution-focused with an aim at developing short-term and long-term goals in collaboration with her clients. Clients learn how to recognize their patterns of negative thinking, feelings and behavior stemming from past or current abusive situations and traumatic events. Clients explore coping strategies at their own pace in a safe and non-judgmental environment. Pamela is warm and engaging with a genuine desire to walk alongside her clients on their mental health journeys. Pamela loves spending time with her family, trying out new food, volunteering at her church and listening to Eighties music. She hopes to work with you in whatever life season you are in. Pamela is licensed to practice in New York State. Clients must physically be in New York State during a telehealth appointment.
