Her internship at Roger's Behavioral Health gave her a deeper understanding of the struggle between substance use disorders and mental health. As she excelled in creating and demonstrating skilled knowledge in tele-health, she used the tools and concepts to increase the potential for successful group programming during a difficult time, as we now experience with COVID-19. 

​

She received her hours under supervision from Tina Baeten, LCSW, CSAC, ISC at Baeten Counseling and Consultation Team, S.C. which recently closed their doors. Tina is still working in the field with InFocus. In the capacity of psychotherapist and addiction counseling, Pamela developed the needed skills, tools, and protocol to provide exceptional therapeutic services to her clients, whether through the educational field of Domestic Violence, or as a counselor.
