If you have ever gone to a counselor, you are probably familiar with the word “stabilize,” but did you hear your counselor use the word “heal”? Pamela Poteat is a biblical counselor and gifted speaker who uses the Bible as her primary guide as she (by God’s Grace) works with her clients through stabilization and then healing.

She has a degree in Biblical Counseling from Trinity University and training from Texas Christian University in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). She is certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Based Therapy and has conducted countless training workshops over a vast array of topics including  Breaking the Cycle of Negative Thinking, Breaking the Cycle of Poverty Thinking and What’s Wrong with the Way I am Parenting?

She and her husband, Bobby, have adopted two young men and have fostered over 20 children. In leading her clients, she not only speaks from God’s Word and her training, but also from the broad range of experience with which God has blessed her. As a counselor and speaker, Pamela has a unique ability to connect deeply with her clients as they walk through their personal trials and suffering.
