Hi, I’m Thea Pearman, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) and it’s nice to meet you! As a Marriage, Family and Child/Adolescent Therapist with over 25 years of counseling experience, I can confidentially say that crossing the bridge for help might be the most challenging for most people. Life is difficult, and each day we seem to get more challenges in work, home and relationships we are in. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life and find solid ground in the process, so you have more peace of mind. My approach to counseling is both systemic (in relationships and interactional patterns with others) and cognitive-behavioral in nature to help you navigate a more peaceful place in life. By applying complementary counseling approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Children and Teens have their help as well, tailoring to how they best learn through play techniques, art/sand and other forms that help them engage to grow both non-directive and directive play techniques. Self-Esteem can improve with counseling and goal-oriented help.
For those who are struggling with relationship issues, marriage counseling can help you identify areas that are creating negative patterns and help you with improvements in communication, intimacy and open new paths to dialogue in key areas.
