Megan Pieterick

Megan Pieterick, a counselor from Matthews, NC, is transforming lives through the use of creative expression and a specialized therapeutic approach tailored to those who find their emotions eclipsing everyday experiences. By integrating the vivid world of art with therapeutic practices, Megan is charting new paths for individuals seeking to explore their inner worlds and enhance their emotional wellbeing.

Art therapy is not just for the artistically inclined; it transcends conventional communication, allowing people from all walks of life to articulate complex emotions and thoughts through visual mediums. With Megan's guidance, clients learn that the simple act of creating can be a profound vehicle for self-discovery and expression. This mode of therapy is particularly significant for individuals with special needs, for whom traditional verbal communication might pose challenges.

Megan's expertise extends to Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based psychotherapy that is particularly effective in helping people manage intense emotions, navigate complex social environments, and cultivate mindfulness. As a member of the DBT team at McCloud-Acosta Clinical Services, Megan offers an engaging group program that runs for a duration of six months. Here, clients convene on a weekly basis to practice and master life-enhancing skills in an understanding and supportive environment.

Recognizing the diverse needs and preferences of her clients, Megan warmly welcomes new clients to her individual sessions and to her DBT groups, offering both in-person and virtual options to ensure accessibility and comfort. Her approach is particularly accommodating for those within the special needs community, striving to provide programs and services that are as inclusive as they are effective.

With Megan Pieterick, harnessing the power of creativity becomes a stepping stone to building a more self-aware and emotionally resilient life, opening the door to being the person one truly seeks to be, regardless of the challenges faced.
