Hi, I’m Pamela Price-Lerner, LCSW-R
New Paragraph
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — in life or in your relationship — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out alone, either.
With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples work through anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and major life transitions. My approach is very relational, collaborative, practical, and tailored to your needs. I draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, ACT, and mindfulness to create a plan that works for you, whether that’s weekly sessions or a focused therapy intensive.
What matters most is that you feel heard and supported while building the tools to create real, lasting change. My goal is to help you strengthen what’s working, shift what’s not, and feel more grounded in your life and relationships.

If you’re ready for a therapy experience that’s clear, supportive, and results-oriented, I’d love to help you get started.
My Passion Is Helping Others Succeed
My path to becoming a therapist began long before I started formal education. I've always had a knack for connecting with people, offering them a listening ear and a safe place to share their thoughts, struggles and seek advice. This natural ability to encourage deep, meaningful conversations guided me toward a career in therapy.

I pursued this calling by earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The State University of New York at Albany, with a minor in Business Administration. After working in business management for several years, I returned to my passion of helping others and furthered my education with a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University. I love to learn about my clients and my field and I attend continuing education classes when I am able.
As a clinical social worker, I will listen to you and support you through whatever your current life challenges are. I will help you to make lasting changes that lead you to be less stressed or anxious and to be happier and more satisfied in your personal life, your relationships and even in your professional life.
In 1997, I founded Perspectives Counseling Center, where for over 25 years, I've blended my skills of running a small business with my therapeutic expertise to help my clients succeed in finding the life they want and the good mental health they deserve.
My approach to therapy is "person-centered" meaning you and I are just 2 people trying to help you overcome your stresses and become the best you you can be. Yes, I have a lot of therapy skills to help you, but you are the expert in you! Everything we do in your therapy is tailored to your individual needs.

MY MISSION
Helping You Find Life Balance
Achieve Harmony and Unlock Your Full Potential
Life feels most meaningful when there’s balance — between work and rest, ambition and connection, doing for others and caring for yourself.

Therapy can help you sort through the demands of daily life and focus on what truly matters. Together, we’ll explore how to prioritize self-care, build healthier boundaries, strengthen relationships, and create space for both joy and growth.
When all parts of your life feel supported, you can move forward with more clarity, energy, and purpose.
