Pam Giardina, LCSW, comes with thirty years of experience working with children and families facing stress. She spent twenty-five years as a Child Life Specialist at Arkansas Children's Hospital helping children and families cope with trauma, hospitalization, surgical procedures, and chronic illnesses.

She now uses evidenced-based therapies to help children, adults, and families with trauma including sexual abuse, physical abuse, life-changing accidents, and death.

I am not accepting clients at this time.(Updated 5/5/23) Do you think yourself into a bad mood? Or can’t get out of your own way? Are you trying your hardest to get past any of the awful stuff in your life? Are you reeling from all the things going on around you but haven’t figured it out yet?

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss (death, a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

Watch my bio video on my website. My goal in counseling is to use the experience I have accrued over the years, my directness, and my humor to help clients find their true self and exist in relationships the way they were created to. I believe that the root of all addiction is trauma. Instead of my clients asking, “What’s wrong with me?” I want them to ask themselves, “What happened to me?” From this vantage point, we can begin to walk the road of healing and break the bonds of shame. With significant experience in addiction/trauma treatment, I am able to provide my clients a deep understanding of their pain.

I am adamantly committed to helping my clients overcome barriers and achieve personal goals, whatever that may look like. I believe that change is possible and most often occurs when the approach is personalized to you, your needs and your life. My goal in working with clients is to empower them to be the best versions of themselves, whether that is recovering from an eating disorder, improving relationships or better managing the stress and anxiety that comes with day to day life. Personal resiliency is in all of us – I am here to help you connect with yours!

Navigating life with OCD and anxiety disorders can be overwhelming, a relentless struggle that many of us know all too well.

For those of us dealing with disturbing, painful flashbacks of past trauma, this experience can be even more challenging. These intrusive memories can impact our day-to-day lives, making it difficult to engage in meaningful relationships.
