Small town living is a special kind of living. I have lived in northeastern Colorado my entire life, except for a short 5 years in Olympia, WA. I understand small town life.
I decided to become a therapist 14 years ago and completed my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Northcentral University. My passion for helping families and individuals heal led me to specialize in Medical Family Therapy and to also receive advance training in EMDR therapy.
Sometimes life overwhelms us, but it doesn’t have to. I believe we all have the potential to control the way we react to situations we face.
With decades of experience, I am well-versed in many different modalities. No one approach works for everyone, so I built a large tool kit to have a broad range of tools available. Areas of expertise include individual, couples and family counseling, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, special needs of gifted and talented, medical social work, impact of illness, traumatic brain injury, grief and bereavement, positive aging, geriatrics and end of life issues. Having been raised in a military family I enjoy working with our veterans, active duty personnel and their families.

I believe we all have unique strengths that can help us navigate life’s challenges. Seeking out support through counseling is one way to re-discover and to cultivate those strengths. I work with adolescents and adults to assist them through life’s ups and downs. I am LGBTQ+ allied and affirming and I utilize a multicultural approach when working with clients. I welcome you to come as you are— I will meet you wherever you are at.
Hello! I approach therapy with a focus on unconscious patterns which have been shaping my clients' experiences. It is an adventure we take together. When appropriate, I draw from a rich experience in philosophy and the arts to deepen the rapport. My personal experience with recovery from depression and addiction factor in as well.
I’m Dr. Pearson, and I draw on over 30 years of counseling experience helping individuals, couples, marriages, families, teens, children, and organizations work through life’s challenges. I support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship issues, family conflict, addiction and alcohol concerns, military-related stress, and major life transitions. My background includes working with people across many stages of life, including active-duty military members, veterans, DoD staff, military families, couples preparing for marriage, families under stress, and individuals seeking healthier ways to live at home, at work, and in their relationships. I believe therapy should offer hope, practical support, and a clear path toward healthy change.
I use Post-Induction Therapy to heal relational trauma. I have worked everywhere from juevnille correctional settings to affluent Residential Facilities with Professional adults. I honor all clients to be completely understood and how it impacts Love for ourselves, Family and Spiritual engagement. My earnest hope is that we develop courage (Animo) and no client feels like they are wasting time in therapy.
I believe therapy is most effective when it's rooted in collaboration and connection. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change, and I work to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported as full partners in the process. Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working in both community-based organizations and private practice — experiences that have shaped a flexible, grounded perspective on how people heal and grow. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida State University. Outside of formal training, I'm committed to continued learning so that I can show up for every client with curiosity, presence, and care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Colorado Springs
Searching for therapists in Colorado Springs starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may support people with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to discuss. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or family therapy.
In a mid-size city like Colorado Springs, you may find therapists in areas such as Old North End, Manitou Springs, Widefield, and nearby communities. Virtual therapy can also expand your options if office location, commute time, or scheduling makes in-person care harder to fit into your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Colorado Springs can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show availability, and offer direct booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, check estimated costs, and book when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
