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.

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'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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Fayetteville, NC
Finding family therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent challenges, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, parent-child work, or experience with teens and caregivers.
In a mid-size city like Fayetteville, your search may include therapists with local offices, therapists who offer virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your options if schedules, transportation, or family availability make in-person sessions harder to coordinate. Family therapy may include the full family, specific family members, or individual sessions that support the broader work. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand their approach, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check whether your plan is accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose a time that works for your family, and book directly 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.
