About

Welcome all Artists & Creative People in the New York City area to Psychotherapy 4 Artists.  I am Dr. Pamela Saunders, a former actress professionally trained by the legendary Method acting teacher, Sanford Meisner. My background allows me to utilize such Method acting techniques as a strong emotional connection resulting in more meaningful personal interactions. This approach is highly effective while tackling such problems as crippling anxiety and immobilizing depression. I have 35 years experience as a psychotherapist incorporating my rich background in theatre and all the arts. I'm currently working on a book entitled "Psychotherapy for Artists" integrating Method acting techniques with a psychodynamic approach.

 

I excel in addressing Mood Disorders and WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT. I work with a wide variety of people including actors, musicians, writers, members of the fashion industry, and banking, in addition to a number of people who are in 12-step recovery programs. Free phone consultation -- (929) 810-7265.

 

I AM KNOWN FOR AN INTERACTIVE STYLE INCLUDING A SENSE OF HUMOR! I view therapy as a Creative process directly applied to enhancing every form of work. My main focus is in establishing 'AUTHENTICITY' in self experience and in relationships. Therapy is regarded as the basis for dynamic self-actualizing.
