Pamela Byrd
I am the founder and owner of PBMJ Consultants and Associates, L.L.C. located in Baltimore, Maryland and established in 2012. As a licensed clinician and board-certified supervisor; I believe a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy along with the use of wholistic supportive techniques will help clients become more aware of the impact challenges of life have on thoughts and behavior. I completed my BS, MS and post graduate studies at Johns Hopkins University; and I am a public speaker and facilitator who cares and is willing to share how to attain a better way of life. I have traveled and trained nationally and internationally with a combination of over 20 years of professional, academic and personal experiences. During my years as a licensed practitioner and clinical supervisor, I counseled thousands of clients and trained hundreds of individuals in the counseling profession. As a mental health provider I offer the following services: grief counseling, anger management, stress management; conflict resolution; gambling and substance dependence counseling; professional seminars and workshops. I have counseled people from all walks of life and believe true healing begins – in spirit, mind and body - when change is made and a wholistic approach to life is experienced.

Helene Diop
Hi, I am Hélène Diop is a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC & LCAD Board-Approved Supervisor in the State of Maryland for more than 14 years. I have treated and supported individuals, couples, and families on three continents – Europe, North & South America – as well as various states in the US. My cross-cultural professional trainings and experiences over the years has uniquely equipped me to understand that a person’s challenges in life are often resolved by effectively negotiating one’s worldview’s demands and the context in which a person currently lives. I tailor my treatment approaches to my clients/patients’ needs and strengths. I do not believe that “One size fit all” would be the most effective approach in the field of psychology. I have experience in supporting/treating individuals/families with related legal issues (Substance Use Disorders, Drug & Mental Health Court), as well as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, mental health crisis, and relationship issues. I base my clinical practice on integrative approaches such as: Schema, Psychoanalyses, Emotional Intelligence, Reality, Solution Focused therapies, and some aspects of the Gottman approach of couple therapy.
