About Pamela
Pamela Peringer is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people increase resilience and psychological flexibility so they can be more open, aware, and engaged in their lives. Pamela emphasizes kindness, patience, and unconditional positive regard in her approach to therapy.
Her work centers on practical skills and values-based action. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and choose behaviors that align with their values. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to build coping strategies for stress, anxiety, anger, and addiction concerns.
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches guide how she builds a therapeutic relationship. Pamela pays attention to early attachment wounds and helps clients reconnect with the inner child aspects that still need care. This often shows up when people bring issues such as relationship struggles, family-of-origin problems, commitment fears, or blended family tensions.
She supports people working through depression, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and midlife transitions. Pamela also addresses concerns like guilt and shame, self-esteem and self-love, isolation, career stress, and life purpose. Her style aims to increase self-compassion while teaching coping tools that can be used outside sessions.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and grounded. Pamela invites clients to explore values, try small experiments, and use metaphors and mindfulness to tap into their own strengths. She frames therapy as a partnership to foster meaning, hope, and gradual change.
