Licensed Clinical Psychologist


About Dr. Singer
Dr. Pam Singer is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Sherman Oaks, California. She offers teletherapy and virtual consultation throughout California and Arizona, and in-person therapy in Southern California.
​
Dr. Singer received her doctoral degree from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium. She has trained and worked in diverse settings, including the Veteran's Hospital (VAPAHCS), college counseling centers, and the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Observing how powerful a variety of carefully selected interventions could be when tailored to specific challenges in each setting, Dr. Singer developed and helped to lead the PTSD and Eating Disorder outpatient treatment programs at Kaiser Permanente facilities in the Bay Area, and later served as Clinical Director at The Lotus Collaborative, a facility offering higher levels of care to individuals with eating disorders and trauma.

While she found it fulfilling and exciting to help therapeutic programs maximize impact, her primary drive is working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds to move toward wellness. She now works exclusively in private practice to maximize her time with clients, but continues to consult to organizations and other professionals.
Dr. Singer's work is driven both by research and field experience. She works with some of the most well-regarded forms of empirically-supported psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and mindfulness-based therapies. However, knowing that the mind cannot fully embrace change until the body feels safe, Dr. Singer also offers modalities that target the body, nervous system, and spirit.
Given her special interest and training in working with challenges that cause a disruption of the mind-body connection, including struggles with body image/eating disorders, trauma-related disorders, and reproductive mental health, Dr. Singer has broadened her work beyond the field of talk therapy to be able to offer tools to everyone, regardless of where the mind-body relationship may fall. She is a certified yoga teacher and nutrition coach, and is experienced in offering neurogenic yoga/trauma releasing exercises--a somatic practice that helps the mind and body reconnect and discharge trapped sympathetic energy from the nervous system.
Dr. Singer also offers Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Psychedelic Integration and is trained to do so through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute. Research has shown psychedelics to be a powerful adjunct to therapy that can help challenge rigid behavioral patterns, reduce fear and increase compassion when processing traumatic material, and reduce treatment-resistant mood and anxiety symptoms.
With these various modalities, Dr. Singer draws from a strong and diverse set of tools that help people reclaim power over their autonomic nervous systems, stay present and grounded, and increase self-acceptance. She is passionate about working with each individual to find what approaches help them come back home to themselves, build self-trust, and live a life based in values rather than fear or stagnation.
