I’m Pamela Corkey, a clinical mental health counselor who works with adults and couples navigating the impact of developmental trauma (CPTSD), acute trauma (PTSD), and attachment issues, as well as depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. My focus is on supporting those facing the weight of a difficult past, the strain of complicated relationships, and the challenge of building trust - with oneself and others.

My approach is collaborative and adaptable, rooted in Person-Centered Therapy and drawing from the Three Pillars and Internal Family Systems attachment healing modalities. I also utilize Existential, CBT, Gestalt, and somatic techniques. I keep my toolkit both deep and wide so we can use what serves you best.

My methods are enriched by a long career as a screenwriter, film professor, and story consultant. For over three decades, I’ve served as a mentor and creative leader, helping people clarify their goals, navigate challenges, and bring their work and themselves into fuller expression. Both my counseling practice and my creative work are driven by a deep interest in how we evolve and make sense of our lives.

I am a pre-licensed practitioner, growing Encircle Counseling under the guidance of a licensed supervisor. At this time, therapy is available to Vermont residents via telehealth only. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, MVP, Cigna, Aetna, Green Mountain/medicaid or private pay. Coaching is available without geographic limitations and is billed out-of-pocket.

To get started, schedule a free 15 minute consultation so we can get to know each other, explore your needs, and see if working together feels like the right fit.
