Written on Jan 24, 2018 after therapy with Alison for 2 weeks

She has been amazingly supportive. I had no intention of ever finding a counselor that was not Christian. I can recommend her 100%. Because I have dealt with a narcissistic personality disorder for years, I did not know what to expect with Alison. She has exceeded my expectations and her knowledge of NPD is high and she does know what trauma that I have lived through.

Written on Oct 01, 2017 after therapy with Alison for 1 month on issues concerning addictions, relationship, family, parenting, and anger

Alison is super easy to chat with via email and over the phone. She uses her own experiences to help me through mine which is comforting because I know they're proven methods. It's also nice we small talk here and there which is something I wouldn't do in a regular session because I'd be too worried about the time left on the clock. It just makes for a more relaxion 'session'. She's great. I'd highly recommend her to any of my friends or family!
