Pamela Kosmowski, LMFT

Pam is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor, and National Certified Counselor. She works from a systemic lens, which views a relationship as the sum of its parts and as influenced by the broader social context.  Therefore, in sessions with Pam, clients gain insight into how family members, partners, and social context bear upon them and their relationships, and learn how to make behavioral and communication changes for the benefit of all involved. The systemic focus gives all therapy participants the opportunity to explore feelings and express emotions and thoughts in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

Utilizing an eclectic approach of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Pam aims to provide clients with the tools to increase their emotional vocabulary, communication skills, regulate emotions and impulses, and improve their overall self-confidence.

Pam works with individuals (ages 6+), couples, and families. She specializes in life transitions, family conflicts, codependency, and addiction (substance use, gambling, and sexual).

Pam is a member of the National Society of Leadership & Success Sigma Alpha Pi Honor Society, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, and the New York Marriage and Family Therapy Network.  She earned her B.A. in Language Arts from the University of Buffalo, an M.S. in School Counseling from Capella University, and an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University.  Pam is currently completing her PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Systemic Leadership.
