I specialize in counseling for depression, anxiety, bipolar, pregnancy/prenatal loss/postpartum, and grief & loss. I have a diverse clinical counseling background providing counseling services to adults. I am passionate about the mind and body counseling experience. I understand the roll thoughts play on our interpretation of the world. I provide a soothing and compassionate environment that focuses on enhancing ones self, thoughts, and confidence. I believe in meeting individuals where they're at and navigating challenging life events together. Throughout my years of experience I have worked with individuals encouraging and providing awareness into their symptoms, thoughts/feelings, and actions. By recognizing what dynamics are contributes to our current state the process of change can begin.
In addition to counseling, I have experience with crisis evaluation, Inpatient and Outpatient experience from Vista Medical Center, Lake Behavioral Hospital, and Clearbrook. I have worked in Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) facilitating groups for support, compassion, substance abuse/sobriety, and patient prosperity.
I am a dedicated clinician that genuinely believes everyone can live a peaceful and joyful life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Pam Matos. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I really like talking to Pam. This is my first time trying counseling, so I was kind of nervous at first and didn't know what to expect. With Pam though, I feel comfortable talking to her and talking to her has been helpful for me.
