Taking the first step to find a therapist or meet a new therapist is tricky! I am so glad that you are here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have been working in Community Mental Health for the past 3 years. My main focus that I work with in my practice over the past few years have mainly been PTSD and Postpartum.
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 love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.
Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.
I specialize in Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, eating disorder recovery, and substance abuse recovery. Our practice, where I'm Clinical Director, also handles severe issues like bipolar disorder and psychosis.
My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness. I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.
My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.
Hello, and welcome! My name is Tierra Allen and I’m a licensed therapist with over nine years of experience in the field of Social Work, having transitioned into therapy in 2020. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges and develop healthier ways to cope. I specialize in working with men, women and teen girls, helping them regulate emotions, build resilience, and respond to stress in ways that promote growth and emotional well-being. My practice currently serves teens and adults. If you or your teen is struggling with overwhelming feelings or challenges in life, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and finding peace amidst the chaos with a healthy RESET.
I have 19 years of experience as a fully licensed therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and 25 years of social work experience
I have a passion working with children, adolescents, adults, and families and am skilled in the application of therapeutic interventions across a number of settings (i.e. schools, community mental health, social services, medical/hospital/PDC [Private Diagnostic Clinic], and private practice).
Trained in treating ODD, CD, ADHD, PTSD, Anger, Anxiety/Panic Attacks, Bereavement, Complex Trauma, Depression, Eating Disorders, Mood Disorders, Stress, and Personality Disorders (particularly Antisocial and Borderline)

I am an alumna of North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.
I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed with life, exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event? Perhaps you struggle with a chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with a difficult child or teen. Or maybe your partner has been unfaithful. Are you tired of feeling isolated and hopeless? You want- no, you need- things to change, but you don’t where to begin. Asking for help can be one of the most difficulty things to do, but I would be honored to help you discover your inner strength and begin your journey to healing and being who you are meant to be.
I have received training in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for managing bipolar disorders as well as certification as a clinical trauma professional. A nationally certified counselor, I am also a member of LPC Association of NC and the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP).
I am passionate about helping people triumph over trauma, learn mindfulness-based practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, understand the relationship among our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (CBT) and learn to tolerate distress in their lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Knightdale, NC
Searching for therapists in Knightdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want and what background matters to you. Therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Knightdale, the number of nearby in-person offices may be more limited than in larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options across North Carolina while still letting you search for someone licensed in the state. You may want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and scheduling flexibility. Reading profiles before booking can also help you understand how each therapist describes their communication style and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Knightdale 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready.
