Pamela Ridley, PMHCNS, provides comprehensive and compassionate psychiatric medication management to teens, adults, and seniors across South Carolina. She supports individuals struggling with a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, tailoring treatment to meet the unique needs of each person. Pamela partners closely with her patients to explore safe and effective medication options and empowers them to play an active role in their treatment journey. With a special clinical focus on ADHD, substance use disorders, and trauma-related conditions such as PTSD, Pamela brings extensive experience and empathy to the therapeutic relationship. She understands the complex interplay between mental health and substance use, and she helps patients regain control of their lives through individualized, evidence-based medication strategies. For those navigating the lasting impact of trauma, Pamela offers a calming and structured approach to care that prioritizes safety and stability. Pamela is particularly passionate about working with individuals from marginalized and underserved communities. She has deep experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, those with autism spectrum and developmental disorders, and people who have experienced the foster care system. Her practice is grounded in respect, cultural sensitivity, and the belief that all individuals deserve dignified, personalized mental health care. Outside of her clinical work, Pamela enjoys refinishing furniture—a creative outlet that reflects her appreciation for restoration and transformation.

Dr. Ridley is the best psychiatrist I ever seen. I needed help 20 years ago and didn't start seeking it out until about 4 years ago. I have seen several I feel like none of them listen to me but Dr Ridley has and I also see a therapist in the same office as her so they share notes back and forth and I am hopeful for the first time in a very long time I definitely recommend her five stars and the therapist in the office as well in life stance Rock Hill location. She is extremely knowledgeable and is definitely doing the absolute best to help me get onto the right track back where I need to be for the sake of my family.

Finding palmetto was a lucky mistake. I thought I wanted to see a therapist when really. I just needed to talk someone about my medication and get that fixed and everything worked out beautifully.

I’ve been using LifeStance for some time now. The health service is great. I feel heard and my mental health has improved. The quality of the video calls are much better since switch to Zoom.
