Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Kearsee Foster

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm a licensed social worker who truly loves helping people navigate life's challenges. My journey into therapy was deeply personal—after moving to North Carolina away from family, I realized I wanted to create a practice that allows me to be fully present both for my clients and for my seven-year-old daughter. This balance has given me a unique perspective on the real-world struggles parents and caregivers face. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety and adolescents going through difficult transitions. I also have experience as a TTL visitation specialist, supporting families through custody battles, which has deepened my understanding of family dynamics during stressful times. I'm here to help you through trauma, anxiety, or whatever life is throwing your way.

Therapist

I provide support and guidance so that my clients do not have to bear their struggles alone. We work collaboratively to understand what is not working and why. We examine past patterns of experience to help us understand current feelings and behaviors. We can create lasting change and transformation by addressing the underlying issues. I emphasize individual empowerment which allows the client to own their own victories. Empowerment creates a ripple effect which can transcend every aspect of ones life not just in one specific area.
