Pam Greenstone Kessler, M.A., L.P.C.

I believe that if given a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space and relationship, each individual has the tendency and motivation toward growth and change.

That is what I work to provide for my clients. My style is strength based and supportive while maintaining an insight oriented atmosphere for working toward certain goals.

"Many of us think that happiness is not possible in the present moment. Most of us believe that there are a few more conditions that need to be met before we can be happy. That is why we are sucked into the future and are not capable of being present in the here and now. This is why we step over many of the wonders of life. If we keep running away into the future, we cannot be in the present moment where there is healing, transformation, and joy."

- Thich Nhat Hanh
