Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LPCC, NCC
Last Updated Today

Hi, I’m Pam Sykes, LPC, LPCC, NCC. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio, and a Florida Registered Out-of-State Telehealth Provider.

I specialize in helping college students who feel overwhelmed by balancing school, work, relationships, family, and other personal responsibilities. Many of the students I support are also working, raising children, or caring for loved ones while pursuing their education.

If you’re feeling stretched thin, stressed, or unsure how to manage everything on your plate, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies to manage stress, build confidence, and create greater balance in your life.

You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Let’s work together to help you thrive.
