Austin Pearce

I am a native Carolinian specifically from Johnston County or “JOCO”. I received my Master’s Degree from NC State University as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I started my career working in Child Protective Services helping at risk you and families to better support one another and access mental health and other resources for stability.

Recently I have worked as an Intensive Outpatient Clinician working with teens. In IOP we offered a supportive environment where teens receives intensive therapy while maintaining their daily activities. We primarily focused on DBT skills and ways that they could regulate their emotions and learn to self soothe. We would also incorporate family therapy and parenting support to better aide the youth. As I worked in this high intensity program I also continued to support youth and parents in individual therapy and focused on ADHD, Executive Functioning, Anger Management, Mood Disorders, Couples counseling and Parenting Support.

My various experiences have allowed me to better understand conflicts and difficult dynamics with families, youth and parents. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I specialize in Trauma, Families, Parenting and Executive Functioning, ADHD, Students, Life Transitions, Autism and Male Issues. 

When I am not in session I enjoy working out (I compete in power-lifting competitions), playing with my German Shepherd and spending time with my wife.
