Getting to the other side of struggles with self-confidence, finding your voice and shifting your mindset takes a desire for change.

In order to conquer these goals, you must answer your why to give meaning to your now.

My name is Pamela Corkum and I have been a Social Worker for 30 plus years. I hold independent Social Work licenses in the states of Massachusetts, Florida and South Carolina and have worked primarily with teens, adults and seniors. My priority is providing a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment for us to work on building the therapeutic relationship. Through this alliance, we identify and address unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviors, which in turn leads to greater self-understanding, connectedness and allows barriers to be broken down and goals met.

My ideal client would be anyone genuinely looking for a change and seeking help.

My ideal client would seek therapy for their issues with processing trauma and acknowledging poor coping skills (such as addictions or low participation in life) used in the past to manage symptoms.

Hello, I am Holly Soares, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (in Massachusetts). I enjoy working with individuals (couples/individuals/families, couples), as well as across the lifespan (0-hospice care).

My ideal client is willing to start the exciting but sometimes challenging journey to finding themselves. I love to work with folks who make the active decision to start therapy, even if they do not have a concrete goal in mind.

My ideal client is a person who is coming into therapy ready for change. This client would have issues including depression, anxiety, and substance use. This client would need their therapist to help them improve their self-worth, improve their ability to manage their mental health conditions and decrease their substance use. This client's goals would include developing healthy thinking patterns and beliefs about self and others, enhancing their ability to cope effectively with stressors and worries, and acquiring skills to establish a sustained recovery.

My ideal client still chooses to show up regardless of their ambivalence towards their treatment goals. Even if this person is not entirely set on treatment, recovery, whatever it might be, your next steps can decide whether or not that individual returns. If I'm thinking more specifically about my own experience, I think a lot about the individuals I supported who were actively using substances. They could identify the harmful impacts and want recovery but couldn't get through their initial ambivalence. These types of moments and individuals are so important to me.

I enjoy working with others struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, confidence, spirituality, relationship issues, and self-worth.

My ideal patient is someone who engages fully with me during our entire 60-minute session. They are open to suggestions and eager to try new approaches to their treatment.

I hope for a patient who maintains open communication with me, feels comfortable sharing anything that troubles them, and knows they will never be judged.
