Adria N. Pearson

Dear Reader,

Thank you for visiting my author page. I am a clinical psychologist and author living in Denver, Colorado. I received my PhD from the University of Nevada, Reno, where I was trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) by Dr. Steven Hayes and Dr. Victoria Follette. It was during graduate school that I found that ACT fit my personal style as a therapist and my personal and professional perspective on living life.

My research and clinical work focuses largely on developing and improving behavioral treatment for binge eating and body image problems. I also enjoy practicing psychotherapy, treating a wide range of psychological issues.

In my free time I enjoy cooking, running, and spending time laughing with wonderful friends.

If you decide to purchase my book, ACT for Body Image Dissatisfaction, I hope it is helpful to you or to someone you know. My heart is in this book. It was a pleasure to write it, and I'm hopeful others find some personal peace within the pages. If you find ACT helpful, please also consider checking out the other New Harbinger ACT books.
