Dr. Aimee Cornelius Pearson Practice Description

I help individuals work on life issues tied to anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, stress symptoms tied to childhood trauma, and families struggling with behavioral challenges. I teach communication skills that help with difficult relationships. These skills include helping my clients improve their power, voice, and contact with significant others. I lead groups that provide a safe environment to help heal emotional pain and teach new ways of relating to others. I employ many approaches in psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, gestalt, somatic experiencing, EMDR, Pesso-Boyden and cognitive behavioral. I offer testing and assessment for ADHD, PTSD and relational attachment issues.
For traumatic stress, I help individuals reduce symptoms of hyperarousal, panic, numbness, and pain in response to relationship and life challenges. With adolescents and young adults, I combine relationship and calming skills to reduce ADHD and family discord and increase self-efficacy. I work with emotions, behaviors, cognitions and physiology.

Healing Relationship Patterns: The group is designed to help heal and change family of origin relational patterns that are not working in your life. It is structured to be safe, employs many creative resources and uses symbolic representations to help with the inner workings of individuals thinking, feelings and coping strategies. This group employs a very effective, mind-body approach, known as Peso-Boyden Psychomotor System, which enables the individual to experience a corrective, positive restructuring of early traumatic events. This model supports basic healthy change that enhanses self worth, encourages more fulfilling relationships, and increases satisfaction and meaning in life.

Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse Group: This is a group that will combine personal sharing and support with education and information. Topics to cover include, understanding feelings of shame, guilt, anger and grief; identifying dysfuntional coping strategies such as denial, dissociation and addiction; recognizing patterns of destructive reenactment in current relationships and developing more adaptive emotional interpersonal skills.
