Chesapeake, VA 23321
I provide therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups; some interventions/theories, and diagnosis include CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief, Adjustment Disorder, and Personality Disorders.
Greetings! When life gets to be overwhelming, more than you can handle, or maybe just at a point where you need some professional and unbiased guidance, I can help. My ideal client is someone that is open to allowing me to help them reach their desired goals, and improve their mental and overall well being. My treatment approach is from an ecIectic lens. I am here to meet you where you are. No two people are exactly the same, and as such, they should not be treated with the exact same approach and techniques. I believe that being a competent, and ethical clinician, with great listening skills is paramount to providing optimal care.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I see myself as a psychological and spiritual midwife assisting clients in the birthing of new dimensions of themselves in the on-going process of personal transformation. My areas of specialty include: Grief/ Loss, Depression, Anxiety and Relationship issues. An effective way I have found to work with many of my clients is through the use of bibliotherapy. I am also a deep believer in the value of cultivating silence into one's life and have offered day-long retreats entitled: Tilling One's Soil, Cultivating One's Soul; and Reclaiming Ember Days.

With more than thirty years of experience in psychiatric social work, medical, and family-focused social work, I now focus on my special interests in my private practice including family of origin issues, military families, cancer, young adults, aging issues (including caretaker support), and loss and bereavement.
My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to the health and well-being of individuals and families struggling with depression, anxiety, family of origin conflicts, and other mental health issues that can develop in the face of life stressors. It’s not uncommon to experience emotional distress during developmental transitions throughout our lives. Challenges can include struggles within our families of origin (including relationships with a sibling, parent, or other family member), beginning college/new career, the birth of a child, marital conflict, relocation, illness, and loss and bereavement. How we respond is unique to each of us.

Running, running, running to where do I ask? Running away from painful feelings is often a compromised solution to painful feelings. Pain and Suffering is the portal to emotional maturity. No one is spared suffering but it is how we choose to make meaning out of loss that makes the difference between thriving or a life of bitterness and defeat. Intentional committment to understanding your unique narrative is the task I can help you with. Together we will identify the patterns of behavior, and intense emotional feelings that dysregulate your emotions. Please visit and contact me through my website; PaulaJHamm.com and send request

I am trained and certified in multiple facets of Trauma-Informed Care, Grief, and in implementing behavioral interventions from a variety of theoretical perspectives with individuals, couples, and families.
Life’s challenges may cause us to react and respond in many different ways. Our current situation may or may not be in our immediate control, but when we look at our life, long-term, it will be the decisions that we make today that set the course of the overall outcome. Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, confusion, and frustration (to name a few) may be a part of that journey, but you do not have to go down that road alone. It's important to have a safe and confidential space to work through challenges, become more resilient, and come out on the other side with confidence and skills to manage the situations you face.

Clients on my caseload are frequently referred to me because of their need for something in addition to talk therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). It’s most renowned for addressing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, however, its applications extend to many other mental health concerns as well: depression, grief, and anxiety. EMDR is used once emotion regulation skills have been developed, allowing individuals to access and reprocess traumatic memories safely.
