Alison is a good listener who is fully present during the conversation and helps guide and direct to move past the hurdles and challenges in our lives. Highly recommend her, and have, to a friend.

Alison has completely changed my life! I’ve been in therapy for quite awhile, with multiple therapists, and they’ve been ok enough. However, I knew from the very first appointment that she was different, and that I was actually going to get somewhere with her. She understands what I need to progress, and straight up asks me what I need if it’s not very clear. Her homework, goals, and consistent communication throughout the week, also helps. She’s a great therapist and human, highly recommend!
