More about Pamella

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello and welcome! I want to applaud you for initiating the process of therapy to assist you in addressing your most pressing concerns at this time. Life is full of challenges and we all need someone to come along side and help us during those times of challenge.

My name is Pamella B. Divinity and I am a LPC. I earned a Master of Counselor Education degree with a focus in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling in July 2015. I realized early in my life that people were naturally drawn to me—family, friends, and strangers alike entrusted me with their most sacred personal dilemmas because they felt comfortable and safe. I attribute this to possessing a genuine heart to help others. Interestingly, it never crossed my mind to consider counseling as a career choice and thereby took a different path. In April of 2011, I found myself at a ‘crossroads’ and needed to make a decision about what was next. During that process, I realized that my desire to help empower others would inspire me to return to school. It was at this time I realized that being in the helping profession was not just something I was considering as a career choice, it was part of my “calling.”

For nearly 10 years, I have worked in a variety of settings with specialized groups which included college students, women (18 and above), youth (11-17), but have also worked with various populations experiencing various mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family/relationship issues, anger management, stress management, and trauma. Additionally, I have counseled from a ministry perspective for over twenty-seven years and am able to integrate both the spiritual and clinical aspect of counseling when desired by the client.

As a therapist, I employ an eclectic therapy approach to ensure interventions are tailored to each client’s needs. I possess a desire to help individuals and families be strengthened and empowered to navigate life’s challenges successfully, ultimately emerging to be their best selves. I believe that the therapist-client relationship should focus on learning the "root cause" of present and past issues, empower clients with necessary knowledge and encourage consistent implementation so that "transformation" is realized. I am dedicated to assisting my clients to achieve their maximum level of independent functioning throughout the therapeutic experience. In order to achieve this I believe two vital elements are essential-- first, the establishment of a strong therapist-client relationship that is based on trust, safety, and transparency. Secondly, I believe the client must possess a desire and motivation for change. To that end, I would count it an honor and a privilege to partner with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Miss Pamella was an answered prayer for me. I prayed and asked God for a specific thing about my therapist and Pamella was exactly what I prayed for. She truly helped me through my healing journey and I always left our sessions feeling empowered. I couldn’t have come this far healing from a tragic trauma and the aftermath, without her. I 100% recommend her.

Reviewed November 2022

She is extraordinarily helpful and if not for my lack of financial stability, I would continue to ask for help. Any person in need of assistance regarding relationships should immediately look for the opportunity to ask for her help. She is professional, timely, understanding, and insightful, more so than most, if not all, the therapists I have talked to to this point in my life and she will come highly recommended to anyone I know

Reviewed November 2022

Pam is helping me in a way that I never thought to be possible, especially in such a short period of time. It's like we are on the same page and she has such a calming and caring way about her, I love how she incorporates scripture and is able to explain to me when I get confused about how I was raised to thank God and others are making me feel like I should fear God. I feel comfortable talking with her because her responses are professional but show concern

Pamella is THE BEST! I've had bad or even just unmemorable experiences with therapy before so I was hesitant to try it again but I'm so glad I did. Pamella is kind, patient, understanding, intuitive, and extremely helpful. She is an amazing listener and provides insight I haven't heard before. She is willing to meet with me however and whenever is most convenient for me, and has gotten me through one of the toughest moments in my life. I really appreciate how she tailors each session to my mood and what I need to talk about and how she's the perfect mix of empathetic and tough. She gives advice like a sister or friend, but authoritatively, and you know she knows her stuff. I am forever grateful, and look forward to our weekly sessions. I cannot recommend her enough.
