Meet Pamela G. Forducey, Ph.D. ABRP
Dr. Forducey has been a licensed psychologist since 1990 and has served in hospital/medical settings for over 25 years working with individuals and their family members with acquired neurological disabilities; including traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, neurodegenerative disorders, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease). She also has expertise and interest in working with individuals and their family members with chemical addiction, co-occurring mental illness, and trauma. She received her board certification in rehabilitation psychology from the American Board of Professional Psychology in 2004.
Rehabilitation psychology is the provision of psychological services consistent with the level of impairment, disability and handicap relative to the personal preferences, needs and resources of the individual with a disability. Using evidence-based treatment modalities, she provides individual, cognitive, and group therapy with a primary goal to educate and empower her clients and their family members to achieve optimal physical, cognitive, psychosocial, and vocational functioning. Dr. Forducey believes it is paramount to interface with the client’s medical providers (physicians, advance practice professionals, case managers, physical/occupational/speech therapists) to ensure integration of medical treatment and psychological services. She also administers psychological personality testing, neurocognitive behavioral screenings, geriatric assessments for individuals 18 years and older.
Over the past ten years, she has been an active volunteer and leader for Crossings Community Church Celebrate Recovery (CR) ministry, based on the 12-steps of AA and the 8 recovery principles. Serving in a leadership role, as a trainer and sponsor of CR leaders, has allowed her to use her clinical skills in a faith-based setting helping individuals who are struggling with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, codependency, and chemical addiction.
