Therapy is a place where one can learn to explore, express, and verbalize feelings and emotions in a safe and confidential setting, while working to effect positive change in the present, and hope for lasting change in the future. I do not take for granted the amount of courage and bravery to get to this part of reading bios and making decisions about whom to make an appointment with you. I place a high regard and respect for all of my clients, and it would be a great honor to sit across from you and to affirm and validate your experiences, and to collaboratively work together. I am a clinical social worker with nearly 20 years of professional experience who has worked in a variety of settings and populations. I have a gentle and client centered approach that starts with establishing trust and rapport. Former clients have always shared how they like my collaborative and conversational approach to therapy, as well as establishing a calming and unassuming environment for therapy.

Sometimes we all need someone to talk to. I've been a psychotherapist for 20 plus years and consider it a privilege to be able to work with clients around important personal issues and questions. I work with individuals and couples and offer what I'd consider a warm, active engagement style blending knowledge, curiosity and humility. My theoretical approach encompasses cognitive, psychodynamic, reality-based and relational components, and I treat a broad array of clinical issues. Change is a process, often with different phases, and I see my role as a coach within that transformation process - supporting, encouraging, pointing things out and helping people see things in a new way.

Pam Bolarinho, LICSW, currently a full time VP of Acute Care Services. I have worked in the field of social work for twenty plus years in various clinical support and leadership roles. I started her career as a social worker with the Healthy Families Program and then as a social worker for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families until obtaining her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Bridgewater State University where I was also the Class Representative for her MSW cohort. In addition to my role as the ESP Director for the past three years, my prior experience includes working as the Clinical Director for inpatient psychiatric facility as well as the Social Work Manager at an acute medical hospital for over seven years. I am a proud Portuguese American who immigrated to the United States at age five. SI have have dedicated my life to helping those in need, especially the most vulnerable populations. I have been working closely with many community providers including the Suicide Prevention Coalition, Help & Hope Southcoast, Labor & Human Trafficking, and Opioid Taskforce to name a few. I was instrumental in starting a co-response program with the local Police Department nearly three years ago resulting in over 400 patient’s being seen in the community as part of the co-response model; I am proud of the great work that program is doing in keeping over sixty-five percent of those individuals home who may have otherwise ended up in a local emergency room. I have worked closely with individual providers, community agencies, local police departments and with the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership and Beacon Health Options in identifying ways to continue to divert patients from seeking the emergency room as their first line for their behavioral health needs. I have always been a patient centered/strength based clinician and find that when you take that approach people tend to respond to treatment in a positive way with positive outcomes. Throughout my career I have worked with trauma victims, end of life, foster care/adoption, individual suffers from reactive attachment disorder, elders, adults suffering from addiction as well as ongoing mental health and chronic mental health.
