Allen Gholston responds in a timely manner to all questions, is open and accepting of all lifestyles and identities, and is compassionate towards their patients and their problems. Gholston's approach towards treating patients is oriented towards mindfulness, patient accountability in helping themselves with advice received through therapy, as well as general Cognitive Behavioral Therapy style treatment. Overall, they are an open minded, accepting, and caring therapist whom I would recommend to anyone who fits their treatment style and areas of expertise.

Allen has been a great therapist and always very responsive and proactive. Platform is great, this is so much better than traditional therapy. Wish my insurance dollars could go to you.

Patient, understanding, relatable. Some therapist feel like robots in human skin who were programmed to replicate empathy, this is not the case here. Authentically empathetic without being “too much”. Actionable suggestions that feel inspiring without the taste of false hope.

Allen has been a major help in the short time we have worked together. He is genuine, compassionate, and real. Allen has helped me tie some of my emotional struggles to real life events from my past, and find ways to refocus my thinking.

Allen listens and shares good guidance. I have seen improvements in my own behaviors that I have struggled to adapt in my life for a very long time, on my own.

Professional without being cold, insightful without being aloof, helpful without being coddling, and most importantly attentive and supportive. He possesses the rare (in my opinion) capacity to know when it is best to speak and when it is best to listen. I would encourage anyone considering him to be your therapist to know he won't just listen to your pain, he actively support you in trying to be better. He helped me be at peace with making some serious life altering decisions and that is something I will always be thankful for.
