Hello, I'm Pam

Hi, I'm Pam Ross, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with Acorn and Anchor Therapy Centre. For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of supporting children, youth, adults, couples, and families through life's challenges and transitions.

​

I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and tailored to who you are. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we can work to better understand patterns in thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviours while building on your existing strengths.

​

My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in curiosity, compassion, and connection. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I help clients develop emotional regulation skills, strengthen communication, navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, and life transitions, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed.

I  have extensive training in family therapy, parent coaching, psychoeducation, mindfulness, attachment-based approaches, trauma-informed care, and neurodiversity, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT-informed approaches, and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy. 

​

I work with individuals across the lifespan, from children to older adults, as well as couples and families. When supporting children, I also partner with caregivers to provide practical strategies and guidance that can be carried into everyday life.

​

Outside of my work, you'll often find me hiking, practicing yoga and meditation, attending concerts and theatre performances, travelling with my family, or enjoying great food with the people I love.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey toward greater understanding, healing, and connection.
