Hi, I’m Megan. I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist who cares deeply about helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected to themselves again. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, grieving, or just trying to make sense of things, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I show up with compassion, curiosity, and a pace that meets you where you are.
I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and the quiet heaviness that builds over time. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself, even when life feels messy, uncertain, or heavier than you expected.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Raleigh, NC
Searching for OCD therapists in Raleigh starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just general anxiety support. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and distress tied to specific fears or routines. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people living with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that specifically mention ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, anxiety, or related concerns.
Raleigh has a strong mental health care community, but the right fit still depends on practical details. Some people prefer an in-person office near downtown, North Hills, or other parts of the Triangle, while others choose virtual appointments for more schedule flexibility. When reviewing OCD therapists, look closely at whether they list ERP training, how they describe their work with OCD, and whether they offer appointment times that fit your calendar. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may have different training than one who clearly describes ERP experience, so reading profiles before booking can help you make a more informed choice.
Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their specialties and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare bios, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
