Julia Pearson,

Hello, I’m Julia Pearson (she/her), a Licensed Social Worker (LSW).

Why Therapy

I became intrigued with therapy due to my interest and desire for human connection. I love people and value the complexity and diversity that make up a person. I strive to create a space where you can just be yourself. Healing is personal, and it requires deep introspection and work! I am here to provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and safe space to process, learn, and grow.

My Therapy Style

I value building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, which aids in empowering you to be vulnerable and promote change. I have experience with various modalities and tailoring them to your needs. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness.

How I Can Help You

I have experience and a professional understanding of different mental health challenges, including anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use, body image, BPD, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, personality disorders, racial identity, family conflict, self-harming behaviors, trauma & PTSD, sexual abuse, and more. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I will strive to understand your cultural background and family system, and together, we will discover how they impact you and our approach to your mental health treatment.

My Education and Background

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Social work from Messiah College and my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University. I am currently in the process of obtaining my LCSW soon.

Before joining MFC, I worked as an outpatient therapist serving children, adolescents, and adults with various disorders. I also assisted clients on federal probation with mental health challenges and adjustments back into society. I have professional experience with foster care, adoption, and behavioral health.

About Me

Outside of being a therapist, I enjoy playing soccer and working out. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, husband, and dog!
