Megan Pierson, LMHC, LPC
Therapist
Megan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Iowa, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin and Tennessee, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. She works with adults ages 18 and older through both in-person therapy and secure telehealth services.
Megan specializes in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and PTSD, attachment trauma, developmental trauma, relationship challenges, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, and eating disorders. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, or unresolved trauma, Megan offers a supportive, collaborative space where healing can unfold at your own pace.
Her therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy, helping clients understand the deeper patterns that shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. She thoughtfully integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles, Polyvagal Theory, somatic interventions, and attachment-focused care to support healing of both the mind and body.
Megan has received advanced psychoanalytic training and utilizes evidence-based treatment modalities tailored to each client's unique needs. Her specialized training includes:
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- RF-ERP (Rumination-Focused Exposure and Response Prevention) for OCD
- Natural Lifemanship® Level 1
- Advanced Psychoanalytic Training
In addition to traditional psychotherapy, Megan has experience as an equine-assisted psychotherapist and currently offers animal-assisted therapy with her certified therapy dog, Marley, for clients who are interested in incorporating the human-animal connection into their healing process.
