Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

Pam Stockton’s practice is devoted to helping people discover inner resources that support the natural movement toward wholeness, harmony, and a sense of flowing with life. Pam’s warmth and empathic style communicate her trust that every life journey, however complex or difficult, offers sources of healing wisdom. Her overriding objective is to facilitate the reduction of obstacles to innate empowerment and the intrinsic intelligence that lives within the intricate integration of body and psyche.
For many people who consider psychotherapy, the need to address emotional wounds or distressing patterns of anxiety, depression, fear, or emotional blockage is an initial focus. This can involve recognizing available resources and supporting improvements in connection to oneself and to others. Often retrieving and integrating lost or disowned parts, or recognizing and beginning to shift a range of limiting patterns are steps that support the journey of unfolding healing and wellbeing. The changes begin to open gateways to enhanced vitality and thriving.
Those with more extensive trauma may need a more measured approach, building resources, beginning to cultivate embodiment, and growing or improving a capacity to regulate states of intense activation.
Pam’s skills as a guide through these passages are grounded in a combination of broad training and her own lived experience in the journey toward wholeness. Confidence in the inherent worth and equality of all, the wisdom of the body/psyche, and the power of our intrinsic orientation toward healing and well-being are principles fundamental to her therapeutic orientation. These perspectives are drawn from professional and personal experience in Somatic Experiencing® and Grof® Breathwork, in which she is also trained, as well as her own long term meditation practice and grounding in contemplative and body-oriented spiritual practice.
Somatic Experiencing® is a gentle method of healing trauma and restoring the body’s goodness, a practice developed by Peter Levine and integrated with Pam's psychotherapeutic style. Somatic Experiencing is deeply informed by an understanding of how trauma of all kinds impacts the body's nervous system, an innate survival system that is absolutely vital to our well-being. By attending to the body's intelligence, the path to restoring balance and harmony becomes accessible.
Grof® Breathwork is a potent method of inner exploration and healing using accelerated breathing and emotionally evocative music, a workshop practice developed by Stanislav Grof, MD and Christina Grof, and held outside the setting of the therapy office. The transpersonal theoretical framework developed by Dr. Grof, and its emphasis on the inherent capacity of each person for self-empowerment and access to intrinsic healing intelligence, is foundational to Pam's therapeutic orientation.
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Integration. Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic widely used by medical practitioners for decades, has recently been recognized as a supportive agent in the treatment of depression. Having completed five modules of training with Polaris Insight Center, Pam is able to offer integration therapy for those undergoing infusions or intra-muscular Ketamine treatment under the supervision of a medical provider. For clients who have a lozenge prescription from a medical provider, Pam is able to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in her Santa Fe office.
