Hi,I'm Adam Pearson and I see clients who suffer from PTSD, Anxiety, OCD, Panic Attacks, Depression,
couples
/relationships, substance abuse. In Our sessions some goals we will work on are retraining the brain to think healthy, learning to manage emotions, and learning to like and love yourself, maybe for the first time. I use various techniques to help process trauma, manage your emotions and thoughts, helping grieve past losses so they don't infect your future. Perspective and perception usually are culprits in mental health. I am not a therapist who will tell you what you want but what you need to hear and encouraging you always.

I specialize in the treatment of
relationship
difficulties which can include communication issues, sexual health issues, education, re-evaluating roles in life and relationships, etc.
Change is about hope, about effort, about personal growth. My goal as I work with clients is to help facilitate that effort as they strive for the growth they desire. I believe change occurs by awareness and establishing one's authentic vision of who they wish to be--as an individual, a parent, a
partner
, a friend. I work collaboratively with clients to help them bring about positive changes in their lives that make sense to them, according to their personal values.

You have a story. A very important and unique story. Sometimes your story keeps you stuck. It keeps you from being the best version of yourself. If your story involves trauma whether from sexual abuse, divorce as an adult or child, physical or verbal abuse,
relationship
conflict, boundary confusion, religious confusion, natural disasters, accidents, etc, I can help you reprocess these memories and the negative things that you tell yourself. It takes a lot of strength to reach out and ask for help however, I will provide you a safe space to do just that.

Do you struggle to communicate with your
spouse
or have difficulties resolving issues? Are you dealing with raising a family or caring for your aging parents? Do you find it difficult to navigate cultural issues and barriers? Doing therapy with someone who has been there and has the T-shirt can empower you to build safe, connected and healthy relationships.
Looking for a therapist who is open, warm, transparent and genuine? Someone easy to connect with and talk to? As someone who’s been there, I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step to see a counselor. I am here to help you feel comfortable and safe navigating through life’s struggles by providing non-judgmental ears and decades of life experience. Your story is yours alone, but I would feel privileged to come along side you to help you understand yourself from a Biblical perspective, find freedom from the pain that holds you back and help you do the brave work of healing, growth, and change.

I provide information, encouragement, and understanding to support new skill development and personal growth for individuals and

I work with people who, as a result of their painful past, experience overwhelming emotions, frequent triggers and feel stuck in self-defeating behavior. I gently point to the healing of mind and spirit that frees them from their pasts, creates structure and confidence within themselves and promotes an intentional and personally satisfying life. My clinical experience over the last 17 years has given me the opportunity to stand in awe of how God heals individuals and
couples
, He brings beauty out of the chaos and pain and deepens our understanding of ourselves, each other and most importantly His grace in our lives.

Life is full of transitions. Changes in employment,
relationship
status, becoming a parent, the illness or death of a loved one, relocating or developing a new health issue are some of the most challenging life transitions. Without adequate emotional support and healthy coping skills, the extra stress can lead to developing further physical and mental health problems. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, substance abuse and family conflicts can appear or worsen as a result of not having support and knowledge of how to manage life changes. I educate and support my clients as they learn to think and care for themselves in a healthier way.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
