Practice and Philosophy

At Lessig Counseling, we believe that most change occurs in trusted relationships where one feels valued and heard. Our approach is centered around creating a safe and compassionate space where our clients can explore their life issues and personal choices. We aim to uncover faulty thinking that results in damaging patterns of relating, helping our clients understand who they are and who they want to become. Through this process, we work together to develop strategies for change, growth, and healing.

Pam uses a variety of counseling theories, including cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, relational approach, and talk therapy. She considers the spiritual, psychological, social, and biological dimensions of each client. Our services include individual, marriage and family, and group therapy.

Services Offered

At Lessig Counseling, we understand that every individual has unique needs and challenges. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients. Our services include:

• Individual and Family Therapy: Pam has extensive experience working with adolescents to aging adults, focusing on issues such as marriage and family dynamics, stress and depression, codependency, end-of-life issues, loss, guilt, and life transitions, as well as spiritual issues.

She understands the emotional and practical challenges caregivers face and provides them with the necessary tools and support to navigate these difficulties.

We help families understand each other's perspectives, work through challenging situations, and build a more harmonious home environment.

• Stress and Depression: Life can be overwhelming, and stress and depression are common issues many people face. Our counseling services help individuals identify the sources of their stress and depression, develop coping strategies, and work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
