My goal is to empower you to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Am I the right therapist for you?
Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and are ready to get back into it, or maybe this is your first time. Either way, you need to find a therapist who will be the right fit. Not having a sense of who a therapist is, or what kind of services they provide, is often the most frustrating part of that process. It can feel so overwhelming that you end up putting it off, or worse, giving up altogether. Let me tell you more about who I am and and how I work.
My background:
My name is Pamela Hamer, and I am a clinical psychologist based in Denver and licensed in Colorado and New York. I worked and lived in New York City and Brooklyn for more than a dozen years before heading west for graduate school. I conduct virtual therapy sessions via a secure online health platform that allows me to treat clients from the comfort of their homes in the cities I love.
My credentials:
I hold a doctorate degree in psychology from University of Denver. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Colorado, where I specialized in infant mental health and early childhood development. I also hold a master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University. All together, I have fourteen years of experience treating adults and children in both individual and family therapy sessions.
My approach:
I’ll encourage you to talk about tough stuff, but always with curiosity and compassion. Being human is hard! No matter how many times you may have stumbled, I know you’ve been doing the best you can—and I’ll help you see that, too. I believe therapy can challenge clients to grow without being something they dread every week.
While the focus of treatment is making changes in the present, it’s often helpful to explore how early experiences shaped your beliefs about yourself and the world. Those beliefs show up everywhere—from what you expect in relationships, to how you feel about yourself as a parent, to what you think you are capable of achieving. When we see clearly which beliefs are getting in the way and when, we’ll know what needs to change to reach your goals.
While I have the clinical expertise to guide the process, ultimately you are the expert on you. So no matter what the goal is, I will help you tap into your innate wisdom. We’ll use mindfulness techniques as one way to notice the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations, to learn to tolerate difficult emotions, and to help you access the part of yourself that remains steady and calm, no matter what else is going on.
Call 720.739.1606 to schedule a free 15 minute therapy consultation, and I’ll guide you through how to get started with the therapy process, so you can find the support you need to feel better and move forward.
