Teletherapy Services Across Alabama: Specializing in Trauma, Anxiety, and Chronic Pain

Pamela Hayes, LMSW, is a skilled and compassionate clinical social worker offering teletherapy services to clients across the state of Alabama. A graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Pamela draws on her extensive experience in inpatient psychiatric care to support adults recovering from complex PTSD, OCD, anxiety, comorbid disorders, depression, chronic pain, and chronic illness.

Pamela’s practice is accessible to anyone in Alabama, including Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, and beyond. With teletherapy, you can experience the benefits of her expertise from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Pamela approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, viewing emotional challenges as opportunities to develop compassion, acceptance, and love for all aspects of yourself. Unlike cognitive and behavioral therapies that may focus primarily on talking, Pamela incorporates somatic and experiential modalities like Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Lifespan Integration. These approaches help clients navigate through the trauma held in the body and emotions that are often avoided or suppressed.

By addressing the physiological effects of trauma and facilitating mind-body integration, Pamela guides clients to release deeply held patterns and restore a sense of wholeness. Her non-pathologizing style blends these experiential techniques with other evidence-based modalities like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), creating a personalized plan for profound healing and transformative growth. With Pamela’s support, clients develop the tools to regulate their nervous system, build resilience, and cultivate a greater capacity for presence and connection in their lives.

Evidence-Based Therapies Tailored for Healing

Internal Family Systems (IFS):

This therapeutic approach helps clients explore and harmonize their inner emotional world, fostering self-compassion and understanding. IFS is particularly effective for addressing complex PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

Lifespan Integration Therapy:

By guiding clients through a gentle reprocessing of life events, Lifespan Integration promotes emotional healing and continuity, making it ideal for those with trauma or attachment wounds.

EMDR Therapy:

EMDR uses guided eye movements to help clients reprocess and release traumatic memories. It is highly effective for PTSD, phobias, and chronic pain.

Somatic Therapy:

Focusing on the mind-body connection, somatic techniques help clients release tension stored in the body due to trauma and stress, promoting overall emotional and physical well-being.

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going inside ourselves.”

― Bessel A. van der Kolk,
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

“Beneath the surface of the protective parts of trauma survivors there exists an undamaged essence, a Self that is confident, curious, and calm, a Self that has been sheltered from destruction by the various protectors that have emerged in their efforts to ensure survival. Once those protectors trust that it is safe to separate, the Self will spontaneously emerge, and the parts can be enlisted in the healing process.”

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
