Pearl Arno, MSW is a clinician who specializes in working with individuals of all ages experiencing self-esteem challenges, OCD, body dysmorphia, generalized anxiety, depressive disorders, executive functioning difficulties, eating disordered behaviors, trauma/PTSD, and high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Pearl utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in managing distress and building effective coping strategies. Pearl is especially interested in working with children and adolescents, particularly those struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, and low self-esteem.

Pearl Arno earned her Master of Social Work from The University of Alabama, where she also completed her Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Psychology. During her training, she gained experience providing individual and group therapy using CBT and DBT for individuals with anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. She completed her advanced internship at North Harbor Northport Medical Center, offering assessments, group therapy, and discharge planning in a psychiatric hospital setting. Previously, Pearl interned at Phoenix House supporting clients in recovery and worked as a Registered Behavioral Technician at Kiss ABA Therapy, providing one-on-one support to children with autism.

Pearl was born and raised in Georgia, where her family has deep roots, but she proudly cheers for Alabama on game day. Growing up in a close-knit home with two brothers shaped her love for connection and community. She finds joy in the simple things—morning yoga, anything chocolate, the scent of a good candle, fresh sunflowers, and a perfectly made cup of coffee. These small comforts keep her grounded and inspired. As a pre-licensed clinician. Ms. Arno is being supervised by Marti Munford, LPC.
