Angela Pearman, M.Ed., PLPC
About Angela
Hi, I’m Angela. I am passionate about helping adults through life transitions of all kinds. Maybe you’re in the midst of trying to get adjusted to college, a new job, a new relationship, or the ending of one, or a new role. I’m especially passionate about helping women through mid-life and the menopausal transition. These transition phase in people’s lives are often met with dismissal, loneliness, and stigma, where you feel overwhelmed and misunderstood. All of these transitions can increase stress and anxiety, bringing up past trauma symptoms or the diminished capacity to cope effectively. The stress of life transitions can exacerbate struggles or bring them to light for the first time. It can also bring about the need to re-examine values , relationships or reclaim self identity. I can help you develop skills to successfully navigate through the fear of the unknown as you ease into new stages of life.

Focus Areas & Specialties
I work with adults. I specialize in eating disorders and anxiety disorders (generalized, social, panic, trauma). I am especially skilled at values and identity work. I am a safe provider for the LGBTQ+ population and polyamorous individuals.
Therapeutic Training & Background
I utilize a Strength-Based Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Feminist Theory. I am trained in Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT). I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), expanding my toolkit to better serve my clients. I continue to grow my specialization in disordered eating, eating disorders and body image as well. I serve on The Current’s Eating Disorder Consultation Team and RO-DBT Consultation Team. I am working under the supervision of Megan Bogue, LPC.
I earned my master’s in counseling psychology at the University of Missouri – Columbia. I also have previous experience in substance abuse treatment.
Professional Style
I’m deeply committed to empowering people, helping them rediscover their identities and values in the midst of this significant life change. My goal is to provide a safe and understanding space for them to navigate this journey.
My passion for counseling psychology runs deep—it’s all about creating a safe space to help individuals uncover their true selves. I look forward to not only learning from my clients but also growing alongside them, enriching each other’s lives in the process.
Outside of work, you can find me immersed in mystery books or out in nature, taking long walks and soaking up the beauty around me.
