Pamela Hollings, LCSW

I am an experienced psychotherapist with a professional background that includes working with both mental and medical health issues. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including IFS, clinical hypnosis, cognitive therapy, EMDR and expressive art. I am also trained in Biblical Counseling to provide therapy for those seeking Christian based services.

I bring a background of extraordinary training and experience to my practice. I am a Level 1 trained IFS therapist. I also have over 20+ years of training and experience in the use of clinical hypnosis. My knowledge and skill level continue to increase as I attend educational conferences and remain current with professional literature and research. The competencies I have developed as a therapist have proven effective in helping many people make positive changes in their lives.

During the past two decades, I have had the opportunity to receive ongoing training from renowned psychologist, Dr. Michael Yapko. Dr. Yapko is the author of 15 books and is the recipient of numerous awards for his contribution to advance the fields of psychotherapy and clinical hypnosis. It is an honor and privilege to have a mentor of Dr. Yapko’s caliber and I am extremely grateful for his influence on my skills as a clinician.

I have also had the privilege to work with individuals, families and groups to provide therapeutic support related to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, HIV, AIDS, and other chronic or end of life issues. My experience working with health related issues has helped me develop a more comprehensive and integrative approach to the treatment I provide to my clients.

My professional background also includes the role of lead clinician in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric hospital settings. I have also mentored and provided clinical supervision to fellow therapists and therapy interns. These experiences have helped me expand my knowledge base to become more proficient in the use of a wide range of counseling approaches.

I am also trained in Biblical Counseling to provide Christian based therapy. This is an area of special interest in my practice and the framework from which I draw personal and professional perspective. I help individuals explore and identify their personal belief systems to understand how this might be a significant resource in their own experience.

Apart from everything else, a good rapport between client and psychotherapist is essential for therapy to be effective. I believe the level of personal comfort and ease clients have in our sessions is a key elment to the success of therapy. I make every effort to create a secure and trusting environment for my clients. Working together, we can move your life in the direction you desire.
