Pamela Pierce is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, anger, and behavioral issues in youth and adults. She has 9 years of experience working with at-risk adolescents and adults with severe mental illness in a behavioral health setting. Pamela has worked with individuals and couples in a private practice setting for 2 years. She has a passion for collaboratively assisting individuals working through their anxiety, depression, and anger. It is Pamela's experience that behavioral issues tend to stem from an underlying issue.


Pamela completed her bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Sciences from Jacksonville State University and her Master of Science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. She also holds a post-graduate degree in Play Therapy from Capella University. She has 6 years of experience in Child Development.


Pamela’s main goal is to provide you with support and encouragement. She believes that a compassionate ear is helpful in healing. Her theoretical approach to counseling is integrative, utilizing person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and reality therapy. Pam is open to learning about your identity and experiences by providing a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free atmosphere. She likes to meet you where you are to help bring clarity to your presenting problem.
