I am a trauma-focused therapist and I work with adolescents, adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, childhood abuse, and other distressing life experiences.
Hello and Welcome! Taking the initial step of finding a therapist and beginning the journey of healing can be scary and awkward at first. I am glad you are here and I am honored to be let into the life of each person I work with and value the therapeutic relationship most importantly. I am always humbled and amazed at the resiliency and strengths that I am shown through my work with others, and I thank you for sharing a piece of yourself with me. - Meagan Hisscock, LCSW
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 have been a therapist in the Denver Metro area since 1994. I take a holistic, person-centered approach, integrating various modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual and I consider it an honor to learn about you and to support your goals. I focus on your strengths-based goals and encourage you to move at your own pace to keep up a life long journey toward better health and self care.
I enjoy taking a person centered, strength based approach to therapy. I like to spend time getting to know my clients, their view of the world, and the experiences that have shaped them. On the surface, substance use has been my speciality, but I find that substance use is typically secondary to underlying mental health or trauma related concerns. Because of that, I have experience in a wide range of concerns and practice with varying approaches suited to meet the individual client's needs.
I have wanted to be a therapist since I was twelve years old after seeing a guru use his expertise to connect with a troubled child who had only known how to push others away. Over twenty five years later, I'm privileged enough to have found my own niche, working with individual adults address the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. They have proven that the capacity to love and embrace life can be rediscovered, even for those who have lived through the unbearable.

I'm a Colorado native who loves the outdoors, travel, dabbling in the arts, and spending time with those I love. Sometimes, I am blissfully content just curling up with my geriatric cat and a good movie.
We want to show the world that we have everything put together. Many times, we are struggling to stay afloat. Our quality of life is affected, and we find struggle in our relationships. Communication within ourselves and with others is compounded. Finding a non-judgmental and unbiased environment to process individually and/or together with partners and families can help to note the specific problem(s). By better understanding the problem, we are more successful in finding solutions. If we are informed, we are better in our decision-making. Therapy is a unique process, just like your life is unique.
If we have not contacted a professional for help, we are still doing some level of work. The work in the search for the next step. It is when we are lost in asking ourselves “How can I do better? How can I do better for myself and others?”. That’s when the next step of reaching out for help is needed. I am a therapist. I am human. I understand.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Colorado
Searching for therapists in Colorado means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual care. If you’re looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Location and scheduling matter when comparing Colorado therapists. Someone in Denver may have access to many nearby offices, while someone in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or a mountain or rural community may want to include virtual sessions in their search. Some people prefer meeting in a therapist’s office, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. As you narrow your options, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.
The cost of therapy in Colorado can be a significant investment 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 helps by verifying your insurance, showing estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and connecting you with licensed therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your location and plan as you search — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and has availability.
