The stressors of daily life can be difficult to manage on the best of days, but for those experiencing mental health issues, these stressors can feel insurmountable. Many people I have worked with are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, identity issues, suicidal thoughts, etc. Many of them struggle with unhealthy coping skills, such as self-harm or other risky behaviors. They are seeking a safe outlet for self-expression, reflection, and creating healthy coping strategies.

“Music is the universal language of mankind.” This quote guides my practice as a Board-Certified Music Therapist. Music can guide us through moments in life and can be used to validate our experiences. I use client preferred music in my practice to establish a therapeutic relationship to achieve client goals. I implement different interventions in sessions that are within the four methods of music therapy (recreative, compositional, improvisational, and receptive).

The saying, "New year, new you" often falls flat without the support you need to make changes. If you've made it this far, to look for a therapist, I applaud you. Finding a therapist is like trying on new shoes, you have to find a good fit but when you find it, it's so worth it. I offer affordable services because you are worth my time and mental health is not a luxury but a necessity for growth. My self-pay fees $80/hour or $40/half an hour. I am currently accepting clients for night/weekend sessions.

Hi, I'm Adam Pearson and I help Veterans who are seeking disability claims. I partner with a former Veteran, 21 years in service, Master Sergeant. He has a 97% success rate in helping Veterans with their disability claims. I provide the mental health evaluation including testing that you can submit with your claim as medical records to help with your C&P. Some Veterans have been approved without a C & P claim as they have sufficient evidence of diagnoses and symptoms.

What just happened to our world? Managing one's life and dealing with transitions takes on a whole new meaning but can still be effectively accomplished. My diverse practice (teens, adults, professionals, students) allows me to work with varied backgrounds, cultures & education levels. I have had success with treating with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship & family issues through behavioral changes, insight, re-gaining perspective (especially now) & goal adjustments. A strong and effective partnership between therapist and client is still important. I also believe that humor can be a handy secret weapon can be useful.

Do you often feel like you are fighting an uphill battle in life? Are you frequently overwhelmed by anxiety, depressive moods, or what feels like an inability to cope? Do you feel hopeless and unsure how you got to this point? Do you feel at a loss for how you can move forward in a better way? Trauma and stress can manifest in the body, as well as the mind, with symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, irritability, anxiety, and burnout. Ruminating thoughts, overwhelming emotions, difficulty in relationships, and self-doubt don't have to characterize your life. There is hope for healing and growth.

To the rest of the world you are a high functioning, successful professional appearing to have it all together. Underneath it all, you are feeling empty, overwhelmed, anxious, and burnt out. You can't find time to do the things you love. You're the sort of person who is deeply curious about why you are the way you are. You've done therapy in the past and haven't gotten the positive life changes you desired. You are frustrated that some of the hard things you've been through in the past are showing back up in your life now and you are now ready to release the anxiety from your mind and body and embrace a life filled with joy.

You find yourself constantly avoiding triggers, unable to go certain places or do things that remind you of your unresolved hurt - a lost relationship, childhood abandonment, the death of someone you love dearly. You feel limited and held back by your painful past. You get sucked into self help videos on Tik-Tok looking for a solution and find yourself more sad, more alone, and feeling empty after hours of scrolling. Together we can face the past head on. I guide clients to work through past hurt and do the work to heal. My clients finish therapy confident, emotionally healthy, and free to move forward into a hopeful future.

At times we all face things that can feel challenging, insurmountable, or overwhelming. I view therapy as a space where my clients can share their experiences and explore patterns where they may be feeling stuck. I am passionate about helping clients work through this stuckness and detangle obstacles that may be standing in the way of the goals you desire to achieve. I recognize that taking the step to seek therapy can feel vulnerable and I am intentional about providing a nonjudgmental space as we work together in addressing the challenges that bring you in.
