Pamela is great! I appreciate her open, pragmatic, compassionate and approachable personality. She doesn't beat around the bush, and is flexible for what I want to focus on each session. I love hearing her stories and experiences, which really help me understand what is going on with me and feel attuned and seen.

I've been working with Pam on EMDR to relief me of my CPTSD. So far, it's been exactly what I needed.
I have defeated most of my stomach issues and now we are working on the issues in my neck and back. Emotionally I am working on my flashbacks, depression, anxiety and anger. Pam is smart and straightforward and I appreciate her expertise.

Dr Kesler has been able to help me with 3 sessions more than any of the dozens of talk therapies I’ve gone through combined. I am so grateful for her- her dedication, her patience and passion for what she does. She is changing, saving, and preserving lives. Thank you, Dr. Kessler!
