Radically Open DBT

Our clients benefit from a variety of approaches when the goal is to resolve traumatic experiences. Utilizing an attachment perspective, Pamela works together with you to define goals and negative beliefs about yourself that are inaccurate but still have a stronghold on you, keeping you from living up to your potential. Pamela integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT and RO-DBT), EMDR, and narrative therapy to find the best approach for each client. As you are a unique individual, no one therapeutic approach is a one size fits all; therapy is intended to be individualized and client-centered around your needs, comfort, and goals.
