More about Pamela
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC
I am the founder and owner of PBMJ Consultants and Associates, L.L.C. located in Baltimore, Maryland and established in 2012. As a licensed clinician and board-certified supervisor; I believe a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy along with the use of wholistic supportive techniques will help clients become more aware of the impact challenges of life have on thoughts and behavior.
I completed my BS, MS and post graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University; and I am a public speaker and facilitator who cares and is willing to share how to attain a better way of life. I have traveled and trained nationally and internationally with a combination of over 20 years of professional, academic and personal experiences. During my years as a licensed practitioner and clinical supervisor, I counseled thousands of clients and trained hundreds of individuals in the counseling profession.
As a mental health provider I offer the following services: grief counseling, anger management, stress management; conflict resolution; gambling and substance dependence counseling; professional seminars and workshops.
I have counseled people from all walks of life and believe true healing begins – in spirit, mind and body - when change is made and a wholistic approach to life is experienced.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

My meeting with Pamela Byrd was professional. She was straightforward with her advice and recommendations while keeping her approach to my situation understanding and made me feel comfortable. I look forward to working with her again the near future.
Pamela Byrd is a excellent therapist.
She's just awesome, provides very stress free guidance and makes me feel like I'm in great hands. Couldn't ask for more.
Pamela is easy to talk to and provides an insightful perspectives on managing situations that occur in life.
Insightful and offers authentic perspectives that are Christian based.
Open to sharing , doesn’t undermine my problems, and gives me goals to focus on that aren’t too farfetched
I was able to connect with her easily. I felt like she understood what I was going through and offered helpful things from the first visit.
I find Pamela to be thoughtful and insightful. She has helped me understand different perspectives
Hopeful for a better version of me..
Pamela has been extremely helpful in helping me work through a situation.
Pamela's counsel is a blessing to me and I'm so thankful every time I meet with her.
Miss Pamela Byrd is an excellent therapist she listens. She gives spiritual and good advice due from her experience she listens to you attentively in what you have to say. I had a wonderful therapy session with her for about six months and I hope to even talk to her in a few future, I highly recommend Miss Byrd she is a professional
She has really helped me a lot. Her knowledge and expertise are very valuable.
Pamela is a caring and helpful therapist. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for good listener who can provide insightful feedback.
Sessions have been very helpful so far
She’s understanding, I appreciate her input and insight of any matter at hand.
Pamela has a calming personality and often shares wise insight. However, she is not very responsive between sessions which could be quite discouraging at times. When she does reply, the responses do not really address the issue that was expressed, but rather are generic - not very helpful. Continuity with sessions would be helpful too; for instance, following up on where we left off during our last session would show more commitment to the client. It helps to know that my therapist truly cares for me and is tracking my progress.
Pamela is always compassionate and very helpful
I had such a great experience with Pamela. Her discernment is on point, and definitely great at counseling and helping to work through the tough issues. I listens well and asks the right questions.
Pamela has such a wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and compassion that makes you feel truly heard and safe from the very beginning. She has been a great comfort to me during a difficult time and I have appreciated her thoroughness in helping me acknowledge issues not just holistically but spiritually. God is doing wonderful things through her to help others.
She wears a cape and solves crime at night, you won’t be able to convince me different. She’s the hero we all deserve.

Ms. Byrd is well versed in this field and I appreciate her religious input on our discussions as well. I have a comfort with her that is more of a family figure than a stranger I tell my thoughts and feelings to.
After 5 months of therapy with Ms Pamela Byrd concerning issues related to childhood trauma and violence. She is an incredible mental health professional who is grounded in her Christian Faith. It is refreshing to talk to professionals who know Jesus Christ and perform their professional duties with the love of Christ!

I am better and am grateful for this safe space and an opportunity to learn more about myself and how my past had been adversely affecting my present. God bless you, Ms Byrd!
