About Pema
Hello, I'm Pema.
Outside the therapy room, I'm a mom of multiples and a dog mom. I'm happiest with something in my hands: knitting needles, a crochet hook, or a tray of beads. You'll also find me on the pickleball court, doing yoga, dancing, singing at the piano, or lost in a good book.
Professionally, I am a licensed mental health counselor and I'm here for humans that are ready to question everything, begin to think more critically, feel more deeply, keep what is true, and rebuild with meaning and purpose.
Trauma-informed, spiritually open, and grounded in real clinical work. Florida-wide via telehealth, with in-person sessions in the St. Johns/Duval County area available upon request.
I've been through a few dark nights of the soul. Loving helpers deeply impacted my life for the better and I hope I can be the same for you.
Whoever you are and wherever you come from, there is a space for you here.
What we work on
The things that don't fit in a neat box
Trauma
Working through what happened at a pace your body and mind can handle.
Anxiety
Understanding what your nervous system is trying to protect, and teaching it to settle.
Depression
Finding your way back to energy, meaning, and connection.
Women's issues
Identity, the transitions through stages of life, and the roles you carry.
Dark night of the soul
For when the old meaning stops working and the new one hasn't arrived yet.
Relationships of all structures
Couples and partnerships, however yours is shaped.
Parenting
Staying present with your kids while caring for yourself, and breaking patterns you don't want to pass on.
How I work
An integrative approach, fitted to you
No single method fits everyone. I draw on a few well-tested approaches and blend them around what you need, through a multicultural lens that honors where you come from.
EMDR
Helps the brain reprocess painful memories so they lose their grip on the present.
Somatic work
Brings the body into the conversation, noticing where stress and history are held.
CBT
Practical tools for spotting and shifting the thought loops that keep you stuck.
DBT
Skills for riding out big emotions, staying present, and protecting your relationships.
IFS
Internal Family Systems helps you get to know the different parts of you, including the protective ones, and meet each of them with curiosity and compassion.

ABOUT ALTERNATIVE FEE OPTIONS
Fees that meet you where you are
Not everyone starts from the same place, and money shapes how easy it is to get care. So instead of one fee for everyone, I do offer reduced fees, if necessary.
If you are in need of a rate that is aligned with your actual access to resources, please contact me. I allocate a limited number of spaces for clients who have a real need for reduced rates.
We can discuss fees during your free consultation call.

Questions
Good to know
Do you take insurance?
Pemaculture is private pay, which keeps your care between you and your therapist, without a diagnosis on file with an insurer.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Online sessions are available for anyone located in Florida at the time of the session.
What happens on the free call?
About fifteen minutes to hear what you're looking for, answer your questions about how I work, and decide together whether it's a good fit.
What if I'm in crisis?
This practice isn't set up for emergencies. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency room.
