I worked for many years as a Child and Family Therapist in clinics, schools and my community. For the past ten years, I’ve specialized in Parent Counseling. I support parents—including those in recovery or healing from trauma—in becoming the caregivers they aspire to be. My Sensory Attachment Training helps parents and educators learn to calm their own nervous systems and guide children to feel safe, loved, and grounded in their bodies.

My hope is to help you find relief from the burden of pain you carry. Many of the people I work with experience anxiety, panic, depression, or trauma, and live or work in high-stress environments. I believe our health, relationships, and choices offer us feedback, and that therapy provides an opportunity to listen more deeply. My role is to help you slow things down, understand what is happening at a deeper level, and find a greater sense of clarity, choice, and resilience.

I draw from Attachment Theory, Psychodrama, and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to connect with you and move beyond talking about experiences. I have worked with veterans experiencing PTSD, teens feeling overwhelmed and unheard, and adults facing challenges in relationships and identity. I have extensive experience in crisis and residential treatment settings.

I am a licensed social worker with an MSW from New York University. My theoretical foundation is grounded in elements from Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused approaches, mindfulness-based interventions, and PTSD treatment. My style is warm yet direct and grounded in reality. I look forward to connecting with you.

LMSW

I am available to meet you with compassion and respect for the journey you have traveled. I will support you in finding your way through trauma, grief, disconnection with your vibrant, essential self. I will hold space as you navigate relief from substance use, self-doubt and loss. I will assist you to find the inner strength which has carried you this far and explore empowerment processes with you.

I can help you return to yourself by supporting you through somatic work, mindfulness practice, clearing your thought processes and dealing with overwhelming emotions. These tasks are accomplished through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and Trauma Informed Mindfulness.

Life can hit us with some unexpected difficulties and emotions. We all need support to check where we may be losing sight of our goals and our strengths. I understand how the pain of loss and trauma of childhood situations can inform our lives. It takes an act of kindness to reach out for support. Congratulations for the step you have made toward healing,

Having been challenged with her own traumas, being on all sides of cancer, as witness, family loss, and personal experience, Marcy has found her resilience song. "What doesn’t undo us makes us stronger”. By sharing her courage, curiosity and compassion with her clients she co creates hope in the therapeutic process. She teaches the tools that neuroscience offers to provided concrete skills that enable moving through traumas into growth and renewed confidence in the power of resilience and change.

Psychodrama offers limitless ways to support clients in their self exploration and discovery of new possibilities. Marcy is a graduate of the Hudson Valley Psychodrama Institute.

In search of healing her own traumas, Marcy discovered deep healing through Somatic Experiencing (SE). Marcy has spent 15+ years studying with and assisting Dr. Peter Levine the creator of SE, in addition to assisting many of the best SE trainers, including Raja Selvam, Ariel Giarretto, Berns Galloway, etc. She is certified to assist and provide sessions at all levels of SE Training, as well as part of the SE Sacred Restoration Retreat team providing SE informed Psychodrama for participants. She has studied Raja’s Developmental Trauma model, Ariel's Full Embodiment, Healing Sexual Trauma, and Diane Pool-Heller's Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning Experience trainings, as well as completing Dr Levine's Eye of the Needle Training which works with near death experiences.

Through her commitment to learning, Marcy has alchemized healing practices that heal the traumas as well as providing skills for enabling the embodiment of new ways of being the deepest truth of each persons potential. This alchemy enables the deepest healing of hearts and minds by untangling the knots of trauma and enlivening the embodiment of resilience, hope and joy. Joyfully Becoming is her life motto, which she shares with generosity and compassion.

Previously a psychotherapist for children and families in community mental health clinics and schools, in 2016, Pam established a Child and Family Psychotherapy Practice.  She found that working primarily with PARENTS created the most positive change in the family, the most quickly.  An LCSW and certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, she now specializes in “Somatic Attachment Parent Therapy” and “Somatic Attachment Based Classroom” Trainings for Teachers. These provide parents and teachers powerful attachment strategies as well as methods to regulate their nervous systems while helping children regulate theirs.  Specific somatic techniques are used to bring the parent/teacher and the child out of a fight, flight or freeze state, and back to regaining their composure, experiencing attachment and re-connecting. This physiological framework helps parents/teachers understand and work with what's happening underneath both their own and the childs’ behavior rather than seeing either as “good or bad”.
