I use an integrative approach to therapy, finding treatments that best match my clients' needs. My work is influenced by relational and psychodynamic principles and I draw from DBT, ACT, and strength-based perspectives. I aim to provide a supportive, warm, non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to explore their areas of concerns together with empathy, compassion, authenticity, and humor.

I am passionate about helping others thrive, professionally, interpersonally, and most importantly in their relationship with themselves.

Approach to Therapy:
My therapeutic style aims to empower clients holistically, using a mix of methods including CBT, DBT, art therapy, and somatic approaches, while understanding that social issues like capitalism, racism, sexism, gender identity and sexuality can affect one’s life and mental health. My practice of therapy is collaborative, and I use frameworks like intersectionality and feminism to inform my work with clients. My goal is to make clients feel welcome and safe as we strategize on better long-term mental, social, and emotional health.

Pamela Harnick, Psy.D.
Embedded Psychologist, School of Dentistry
Approach to Therapy:
The core of my therapeutic work is the development of an empathic relationship. I strive to provide a comfortable, safe environment in which students feel free to express themselves, to understand what holds them back and causes distress, and to take the steps necessary to move forward. My attuned, respectful manner helps people overcome painful anxiety, shame, depression, relationship difficulties, job/school stress, trauma, identity and eating issues. While I have extensive training in psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy, my years of experience have taught me that no one theory or method is suited to all individuals at all times. Thus, I integrate contemporary psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, family systems, mind-body, and existential approaches.

Approach to Therapy:
I believe that people’s stories are at the heart of my work as a psychologist. I endeavor to help people gain new insight, understanding, and perspective on their experiences and personal narratives, mainly from a combination of mindful-cognitive, interpersonal, and developmental theoretical orientations. I use a combination of insight-oriented talk therapy and psychoeducational activities to help students build skills and understanding to master life’s challenges, explore their identity, discover resources, and support their success as students and individuals.
