From Clinical Psychology to Thriving in Adversity
Hello, world! I’m Dr. Michelle Pearce, and if you're on a quest to thrive in every aspect of your life - mind, body, spirit, emotions, and relationships - then you're in the right place.
A Bit About Me:
With a career spanning over two decades, I don the hat of a Clinical Psychologist, Board Certified Coach, University Professor, Business Consultant, Supervisor, Researcher, and a Published Author. Quite a handful, isn't it? But every role I've taken on has been a step towards fulfilling my life's mission.
I've had the privilege of engaging with clients virtually through Safe Harbor Behavioral Care, guiding them on their mental health journeys. My expertise lies in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a skill I honed during my post-doctoral fellowships at Duke University Medical Center. Yet, my passion doesn't stop there. I'm also a board-certified coach, having trained with the Institute for Life Coach Training. Combining my clinical background with coaching, I offer a unique perspective to help individuals lead fulfilling lives.
The Academic Side:
As a Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, I dive deep into the world of research, teaching, and mentoring. My focus? The intricate relationship between religion/spirituality, coping, and health. I've dedicated hours to develop spiritually integrated mental health treatments, and it thrills me to guide fellow mental health providers in integrating spirituality into their clinical work.
The Author in Me:
Remember the thrill of childhood dreams? Mine was to pen a book. Today, I've authored and co-authored three. My recent publication, "Night Bloomers: 12 Principles for Thriving in Adversity", is close to my heart. It’s a collection of insights, personal experiences, and stories of resilience, a guide to heal and transform life, embracing adversities.
So, whether you're looking for professional guidance, academic insights, or just a dose of inspiration from my writings, I welcome you to this space. Let's embark on this journey together!
