Pamela Shadaia, LCSW — Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Pamela Shadaia holds a master’s degree in Psychology and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with specialized expertise in behavior modification and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). She integrates evidence-based practices to create individualized treatment plans that address each client’s unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Areas of expertise

• Behavior modification: Developing practical, measurable strategies to change maladaptive behaviors and reinforce healthy habits across settings (home, school, work).

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Identifying and restructuring unhelpful thoughts and beliefs to reduce distress and improve functioning.

• Complementary evidence-based approaches: Drawing from modalities such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) principles, and trauma-informed interventions when appropriate.

• Assessment and treatment planning: Using clinical assessment to inform goal-setting and track measurable progress.

• Skills training: Teaching emotion regulation, stress management, problem-solving, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Approach to care Pamela emphasizes collaborative, client-centered care. She begins with thorough assessment to understand history, strengths, and presenting concerns, then tailors interventions that are practical, measurable, and grounded in empirical research. Her style is solution-focused and compassionate, with an emphasis on building skills that generalize to daily life.
