Pam Harris - Psychotherapist

Hello and Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my website. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-3981), offering skillful psychotherapy services with warmth and understanding. I work with men, women, teens, groups, and families experiencing a wide range of life issues, including divorce, life transitions, relationship issues, identity questions, traumatic events, illness, cutting, and eating disorders. The impact of these issues may be expressed through anxiety and depression.

The therapy process invites self-curiosity to awaken what works well; while at the same time it compassionately seeks to heal wounds that continue to hold pain. Therapy can help shift your deeper sense of purpose and meaning to create greater room for living more authentically.

As you consider what type of therapist will work best for you, I invite you to explore the information on my website to gain a better understanding of me, my services, and what I may bring to the relationship.

Please feel free to contact me at 208.602.2660.

Services

Psychotherapy

There are many reasons to enlist a therapist, including seeking a better understanding of yourself, following a path of self-discovery, looking for hope and support, or stepping more powerfully into yourself to live the life you wish to have.

Approach

I have been trained in many therapeutic approaches. My style is interpersonal and analytical. I look at the whole person and believe that you know yourself better than anyone. I work together with you to explore the issues you find important so that we may begin to uncover those parts of you that are to be reawakened.

My professional framework places great value on the client-therapist relationship; and by establishing trust and rapport between us, I believe great work can be done to help access your full self.

Fees

Engaging in your own personal therapy is a financial investment as well as a personal investment in yourself. My fees are commensurate with other professional counselors in the Boise area. I adjust my fees approximately once a year. I am more than happy to work with you to land on a fee that is mutually acceptable. Otherwise, I am happy to provide a referral source that may meet your needs.

Background

Experience

My private practice includes work with adolescents, adults, and groups. My passion for the work is evident through my eclectic interests. I have worked with an array of issues, including anxiety, PTSD, depression, eating disorders, sexual addiction, attachment, gender questions, and sexual trauma. I am involved with the Eating Disorder Professionals of Idaho (EDPI); Allies Linked for Prevention of HIV and AIDS (a.l.p.h.a.); I have worked with the Ashwood Addiction Recovery Center; and Terry Reilly SANE Solutions, offering treatment services to adolescents and adults.

Workshops

I provide professional workshops and do presentations on topics relating to eating disorders, sexual trauma, and the power of the unconscious mind.

Faculty

I am a faculty member at the University of Phoenix in the Psychology Department and teach various courses at the Boise Campus as well as online.
