Clinician Spotlight

Terri Pears, LCSW

Works with: Older teens, Young Adults, Adults

Approach: Cognitive-Behavioral, Goal-Oriented & Trauma Informed

Why they do this work: It's incredibly rewarding to walk alongside someone in their healing journey-especially in those moments when a client realizes they're stronger than they ever believed, or when a small shift in perspective opens new possibilities. I consider it a true honor to hear the stories that have gone untold and to offer a space where someone can finally feel heard, understood, and supported. Being able to help make someone's world feel a little safer and a little lighter is what makes this work so meaningful.

One thing they want clients to know: "I'm here to offer you calm, clarity, and unwavering support so you don't have to face life's difficult moments alone."

Favorite coping skill: 5-4-3-2-1 Sensory Grounding & Cognitive Restructuring

Book/resource recommendation: "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins

Outside the office: I love spending time with my family-whether we're out on a walk, playing a backyard game of wiffle ball, inside around a board game, or simply relaxing by a bonfire. At home, our goldendoodle and the cat we rescued always keep things interesting with their big personalities. My kids keep us busy with all their extracurricular activities, but I truly enjoy watching them grow and do what they love. And when the day finally winds down, I'm all about unwinding with a good comedy drama series!
