Pear works with individuals, couples, families and adolescents, offering analytic and depth oriented psychotherapy along with pranayama, advanced breathwork, and EMDR. Pear specializes in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, complex trauma, fertility and postpartum issues.

Pear began her journey as a psychotherapist in 2014, earning her master’s degree from Smith College School for Social Work. Drawn to psychoanalysis from an early age, Pear was deeply interested in understanding the unconscious dimensions of human experience.

Before becoming a therapist, Pear taught a meditation and breathwork-based social-emotional learning program for groups of adolescents in schools across the country. After completing a postgraduate fellowship at the Wright Institute Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Training Clinic in 2018, she founded Sūkshma Therapy.

Guided by a desire to discover practices that truly uplift the mind, Pear found that combining deep relational work with yogic practices that clarify the mental and emotional systems offers a powerful path toward greater consciousness and vitality. She believes that by tending to the roots of our being in this way, we cultivate resilience and aliveness within ourselves and, in turn, within our collective life. This inner work feels especially vital now, as we navigate systems and technologies that can lead toward isolation, trauma, and psychic dullness.

Pear is also trained in attachment-focused EMDR, which she integrates into her therapeutic approach to help clients access, process, and integrate the emotions and associations linked to past trauma as they arise in the present. As a certified instructor of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY), she offers initiation into this powerful meditative breathwork practice through bimonthly workshops. 

Pear works with individuals from all walks of life and understands trauma as an inherent part of the human experience. She believes that by facing what is most painful and frightening within ourselves, we open to the rich satisfaction of living as our true selves, each of us unique, precious, and capable of the sustained joy that is our birthright.

As a therapist Pear is curious and playful, and endlessly loves the process of unfolding with an individual their unique personality, intelligence and way of being and engaging with self and others.
