Getting to know Pamela Kay

I am a Florida-licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience working alongside incredible clients who work through tough issues for a better quality of life. I work with people experiencing grief (in its many forms), adjustment to chronic illness, lifestyle changes, aging, and related anxiety and depression. I work with adults of all ages and identities and have specialized experience with the long-lived population. My approach I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice to assist with aligning thoughts and emotions to decrease anxiety, depression, and general stress. For more complicated struggles that have accumulated over time, a psychodynamic framework can help us see through the layers to the original trauma/stressor, which can then be diffused. The approach is tailored to your needs, unique to you and your situation. My focus Transitions, change, and loss occur for most everyone and can increase anxiety and depression. We can usually move through it, but when we say "I just can't get over this", supportive therapy can create a renewed perspective. Initially, we will take a deep dive into what brought you here. Then, together, we can develop a plan to achieve the goals that you decide. You will feel relief as you define a path and a sense of mastery to reach your destination. My communication style I believe that honest communication can result in the best outcome. It's natural to feel apprehensive anticipating our initial meeting. I will provide a safe, calm, and private space to establish trust that you can count on starting in that first session. Working through tough challenges is expected, and as we move through them, you will have an empathic and supportive partner. My journey to mental healthcare My journey in becoming a therapist began when I was young and experienced the impact of traumatic brain injury within my own family.
