Alissa Pearson, MMFT, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
Specialties: I'm passionate in helping adult women (age 18+) and couples achieve freedom and wholeness as they strive to become their best selves. With an affirming and compassionate approach, I empower my individual clients to navigate mental, emotional, and relational challenges. My specialties include helping clients process and heal from complex trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. I also enjoy working with pre-married couples and married couples as they seek healing, closeness and deep relationship satisfaction.
Approaches: I believe true growth occurs in a safe and compassionate environment where individuals can express themselves authentically, free from judgment or shame. I use a trauma-focused integrative treatment approach that incorporates various modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory (PVT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
For couples, I integrate Relational Life Therapy and the Gottman Method approaches. I often utilize the SYMBIS assessment to help give couples a personalized road map to making their relationship everything it was meant to be.
Experience: I have been in practice as an LPC since 2022. I received my Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy from The King's University in 2021. I am EMDR Certified and IFS Level One trained.
