Alison is amazing! She listens to my concerns and makes me feel validated. She has a structure for our sessions but is willing to adapt and change the session as things arise and develop. I always feel better after talking with her. Even after a few sessions she’s started helping me formulate tools and tricks to help manage my anxiety. She responds timely to my messages and worksheets with thoughtful responses. It’s been easy to find time to chat and I genuinely look forward to our weekly sessions!
