Override Hero Title

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience in helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship dynamics, and life’s daily stressors. I graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice with a degree in Forensic Psychology and earned my Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to reach their full potential. As someone who comes from the community I serve, I understand the unique challenges we face and am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can happen.

I have spent a majority of my training working across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood, and within family systems. I am trained in helping clients with stress and anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Some of the individuals that I work with are in recovery from eating and substance-related disorders. My clients often face school and work avoidance and may find it difficult to do things they once enjoyed.

Experience with anxiety, panic, depression, bipolar disorder, women's health, communication, medical health and chronic illness.

I believe that therapy can be an essential tool used to maintain a well-balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life. As a therapist, I find it important to create a safe and friendly environment. I strive to always be in tune with what you need and assist you in exploring whatever difficulty you may be experiencing.

I am Dr. Pamélla E. Terry. A licensed mental health counselor. I believe healing is possible when people feel seen, safe, and supported. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families during some of the most complicated seasons of their lives. I have seen what can happen when people are given the space to tell the truth about what they are experiencing without judgment. I have also seen what happens when people begin to recognize strengths in themselves that difficult circumstances caused them to forget.

Therapy with me is collaborative. I bring my clinical experience and training to the process, but you bring something equally important: your lived experience. You know what it feels like to live your life. Together, we work to understand the experiences, emotions, relationships, beliefs, and patterns that may be influencing where you are today. Our work may include helping you:

• Understand thoughts and patterns that keep you feeling stuck
• Process grief and difficult experiences
• Develop healthier ways of coping
• Build confidence and self-awareness
• Strengthen boundaries
• Improve relationships
• Reconnect with your strengths
• Clarify what you want for your future

I believe therapy should provide insight, but it should also help you create meaningful change outside the therapy room. I understand that culture, family, community, identity, responsibility, and life experience all influence how we understand ourselves. For that reason, culturally responsive care is an important part of how I approach this work. In doing so, I utilize modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Family Internal Systems.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe that mental health is essential for maintaining happiness, well-being, and a sense of security. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking help is a courageous act, and showing vulnerability is a true sign of strength, not weakness.

My professional background includes working in Rikers Island as a therapist, working as a virtual EAP provider as well as private practice. My specific areas are individual therapy of those 13 years and older, with a heavy focus on trauma therapy and gender affirming care. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space while also challenging you when necessary. I tend to be more direct and value building a strong therapeutic relationship above all.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with seven years of experience, and I truly believe that vulnerability is a strength. In our work together, you’re not just a client—you’re an active partner in your growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore what’s holding you back and help you move forward with confidence and purpose. I work best with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns they are ready to change. Whether you are navigating anxiety, past trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I offer a supportive space to explore your experiences. Together, we work toward building clarity, confidence, emotional balance, and lasting healing that aligns with your personal goals and values.

I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.
