Dr. Pamela Kennebrew

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Hamilton Township, NJ


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

Phoebe Livanis

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and trauma-informed somatic therapist specializing in PTSD and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). I hold a degree in Social Work, and my work is grounded in a trauma-informed lens that recognizes how lived experiences shape both the mind and the nervous system. I integrate somatic approaches to help clients develop greater body awareness, emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of internal safety.

I have experience working with individuals navigating trauma, complex trauma, and substance use recovery. I understand that many coping strategies once served as protection, and healing often begins with compassion rather than judgment. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel respected, empowered, and safe to explore their experiences.
