“Pam is the absolute BEST. Sensitive, creative, adventurous and absolutely the sharpest of therapists. She has deep insight into the human struggle from fearlessly facing her own life's difficulties and from extensive academic studies in a wide diversity of 'fields'-
medical to metaphysical and everything in between. I would trust Pam with my own kids.”
~ Jac Conaway, PhD, Core Energetics Therapist, Pathwork Helper, International Trainer, New York
"Pam Chubbuck has a genius both for perceiving Counter Transference and for devising effective interventions to resolve our most difficult cases. This genius comes from her decades of experience & training in cutting edge body psychotherapies, and a healthy dose of pure intuitive ability. Pam has the ability to feel the issues and needs of others, to detect, gently expose, and free colleagues from what she calls the 'Land-Mine' of Counter Transference."
~ Christopher Beattie, LCSW, Certified Core Energetics Therapist and Core Energetics NY faculty member, Baltimore
"For 5 years I assisted Pam Chubbuck in Core Four Supervision classes in New York. Pam is an inspired, exceptional supervisor and teacher who has the gift of brilliance especially when working with counter transference and transference issues. I learned from her how closely looking at my own counter transference keeps my work fresh and alive! Pam's heart is golden - she teaches and leads with her powerful yet kind and gentle wisdom. You must experience Pam's individual &/or group supervision class! It will vastly improve your work with clients as you more deeply know yourself."
~ Cassandra Roth, BS, Certified Core Energetics Practitioner, New York
"Clarity. Integrity. Compassion. Grounded. Wise. Pam embodies these qualities and through that capacity she provides the safest of environments to process deeply defended pain held in the bodymind. My experience with her in group has relieved and inspired me. I am deeply grateful that she is willing to offer her wisdom and healing capacities to others. What a gift!"
~ Bridget Simmerman, LCSW, Virginia
"I have never before had a role model for a woman who so fully embodies both strength and love. Pam's ability to bring the deepest and rawest emotion to the surface of awareness and to work with it to transform and heal is a profound gift. I have a greater courage to be more fully myself in the world having spent time with Pam, a woman with enormous vitality who exemplifies what it is like to live deeply in touch with one's self."

"Countertransference issues no longer should be hidden or denied, and on the contrary, can bring the greatest treasures to both the Client and the Therapist.
One of my favorite mentors, John Bellis, MD, a former student of Harry Stack Sullivan, told me in the early 1970’s that he was a lot more interested in countertransference than in transference. I didn’t really understand his dedication to the subject then. Today I find it most fascinating and have a passion for unraveling my own, and my clients’ and students’, countertransferential quagmires. I love it.
We as psychotherapists don’t often (aren’t supposed to) admit that we need the personal gratification of our continued ever-unfolding story to stay alert and interested in our chosen helping profession. Many of my colleagues have bitten the dust, burned out, gotten bored, changed careers – in the over 40 years that I have been in practice. I have observed that it is the professional who doesn’t wholeheartedly and continually pursue his or her own personal journey of transformation, that gets stuck, quits or becomes an uninspired therapist.
One way to stay interested and alive is to continue to pursue your own growth, and working with our own issues of countertransference is a wonderful way to grow. Countertransference is either a Gold Mine or a Land Mine. Obvious to the words I use to describe it, when understood and used well by the therapist in the therapeutic environment, countertransference brings us lots of treasures; when not understood or used skillfully it can, and usually does, destroy us.
In order to help others in the process we call therapy, we must first understand ourselves. Without a thorough understanding of how and why we think and feel as we do, we cannot help our clients understand how and why they operate as human beings. It is most helpful if we have undergone our own effective therapy and analyzed our own patterns of defense, which we all have – but may not always want to admit. We can then intellectually understand our client, as well as have an emotional base of empathy.”

"Pam Chubbuck is a person of true integrity. In my
experiences with Pam I always felt warmly received, understood and never judged.
Pam’s compassion and insight make for an experience that allowed safe exploring
and discovery of my whole being and well-being. She intervened and guided from
her higher self with great intuition and skill. This higher self perspective
acts as a beacon that helped me better find and know my own higher self. I can
fully recommend Dr. Chubbuck as a person and a professional who will assist and
guide you on your way to your higher personal and professional self."
