Empower Your Core Self
Transform your life through skilled trauma therapy, mindfulness practices, and emotional intelligence.
Meet Pamela J. Clements, Lmft48435 (CA)
I believe that healing and growth are innate human capacities that can become overwhelmed by powerful and/or chronic stressors. My priorities for our healing relationship are to ensure a sense of safety and authentic empowerment for you in the therapy process. Through mindfulness practices, Developmental Mindfulness guides you through a progression of somatic, emotional, and cognitive levels using strategically selected treatment modalities. This approach synthesizes what I have learned in workshops with Peter A. Levine (author of Waking the Tiger and creator of Somatic Experiencing), Janina Fisher (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, based on the work of Pat Ogden, co-author of the book Trauma and the Body), and Dick Schwarz (Internal Family Systems), along with some of my own creations. My work also emphasizes the development of emotional intelligence as a key component of trauma therapy. Additionally, I have been authorized to teach the foundations of qigong by Dale Strawhacker, LicA and Master of qigong and T'ai Chi, who was trained in China.

This comfy sofa not only offers a view of the rest of the office but also overlooks the back garden, creating a serene environment conducive to mindfulness practices.. On particularly lovely days, the sliding glass door will be open, allowing for fresh air that enhances a sense of tranquility during trauma therapy.
