About the business:

After years of working with numbers as a CPA, Megan Bearce of Maple Grove decided helping people was her true calling.

“What I did like was meeting other people in these businesses and getting them to talk about their job. It was a lot of investigative sort of questions,” Bearce said.  

Bearce decided to go back to school, earning a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. Since 2004, she has been working with clients in California and more recently in Minnesota.

Although she offers a variety of services in her therapy sessions, Bearce specializes in working with gifted and talented women and girls.

“They have the same issues as everyone else does, but there is this added layer of experience growing up gifted that carries through into adulthood,” Bearce said of working with gifted children. “There are a lot of feelings of being different and not meeting up with their peers on a certain level. It starts there.”

Bearce also specializes in working with mothers and high achieving women.

“There’s this myth of the perfect woman out there that I don’t think really exists, but yet people continue to strive for it,” she said.

With her practice, Bearce said she wants to “be a resource” to the community and “demystify counseling.”

“My goal is to not make therapy one more stressful thing in your life,” she said. “It’s okay to ask for help, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.”
