Dr. Loredana Pampinella is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of clinical settings.
She earned her Ph.D. in Advanced Study in Human Behavior, with research focused on EMDR and play therapy and how these approaches can support healing.
Throughout her career, Dr. Pampinella has worked with individuals experiencing trauma, abuse, neglect, abandonment, neurological conditions, personality disorders, severe mental health disorders, complex trauma and other complex mental health concerns. Her experience includes working with survivors of sexual abuse and other forms of trauma, as well as individuals who have committed criminal and sexual offenses.
Her clinical background spans psychiatric and intensive treatment settings, work with children and adolescents, intensive in-home services with children and families, and outpatient therapy with individuals, couples, and families.
Dr. Pampinella completed her EMDR training in 2012 and has extensive experience incorporating EMDR into trauma-focused therapeutic work. She has also served as an EMDR consultant, supporting other clinicians in developing their knowledge and skills in the approach.
Her therapeutic style is comprehensive and structured, but never rushed. She believes meaningful work comes from seeing the whole person—their history, experiences, relationships, and environment, while honoring each person’s readiness, comfort, and individual pace.
