My first meeting with Dr. Pam Detrick was approximately 9-10 years ago. Pam is well deserving of being honored. As a patient, I've been diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar disorder. When Pam and I started our sessions, I was a total wreck. Without going into personal details of my life, I'll tell you now, Pam has been instrumental in how I'm living my life today. Clean, sober, free of my past and very blessed. We continued our sessions. In the early stages, we tried different medications and intense 1 on 1 discussions. It was very difficult for me to open up to a person I hardly knew. But over time, I began to put my trust in Pam. There was crying, anger and a whole lot of guilt that I was holding onto. It became evident to me all these issues needed to be faced if I were to ever be able to move on. Pam's professionalism and attention to detail have helped me become the happy man that I am today. We talk about my life today, not the life of yesterday. And that my friends, is what I call a true blessing. I just want to say thank you, Pam!
