I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these. For more detail about my work with adolescents, autistic spectrum disorders eating disorders, addictions, as well as information on psychoanalytic psychotherapy and mentalization based treatment, please visit my website at www.pamelahays.com. I specialize in psychoanalysis, a specialized treatment technique that requires several years of advanced training at a psychoanalytic institute. A great many problems have been helped through psychoanalysis: depression and anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, and physical symptoms without any demonstrable underlying cause. I also specialize in Mentalization Based Treatment.
