Pamela Cross

I know you can't always control what happens around you, but you can learn new ways to respond. Maybe frustration builds up faster than you like, your emotions feel difficult to manage, or stress and life changes are affecting your relationships. I work with teens and adults who are navigating anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and other challenges that can make everyday life feel overwhelming. With over 14 years of experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker working with families struggling with life difficulties before becoming a therapist, I am ready to help you better understand your reactions and develop healthier ways to move forward.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you build skills you can use outside of therapy. Together, we will explore the situations and thought patterns that contribute to your struggles, identify what you can change, and practice new ways of responding. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches suited to your needs, we will work toward meaningful, lasting progress.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Our work will begin with understanding what's been happening, identifying your goals, and deciding where to start. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can be honest about your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for navigating everyday life.
