Welcome.
I have been a clinical and school psychologist for more than 20 years — working in public and private school settings, collaborating with teachers and administrators, and meeting with children and their families. These experiences let me see issues affecting school-age children from multiple perspectives, and consult with parents around the K–12 journey, especially in private schools.
While my private practice primarily serves children and their parents, I also work with adults — providing individual, couples, and family therapy.

About
Meet Dr. Pamela Brown
Dr. Pamela Brown is the Lower School Psychologist at Trinity School in New York City, one of the oldest and most prestigious independent schools in the country. With nearly two decades of experience in private school settings, she has an insider's perspective on how children learn, grow, and thrive.
Her work focuses on helping parents understand and respond to the often unspoken dynamics of their child's school experience — socially, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically.
You're not alone
More common than you'd realize
Many families and individuals face challenges that aren't always easy to talk about. Stress, anxiety, school pressure, and relationship struggles can build over time, and without the right support, they can feel overwhelming.
The good news is — with the right guidance, these challenges can be understood and managed.
You're not alone.
