Therapy with Allison has been life changing. I feel so much better after having these sessions with her. She listens and gives great advice. Because of her, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and it’s because of her support and validation. I brought up something that was causing me grief at work and she helped me prepare for how to handle possible situations. She’s amazing. I’m looking forward to more sessions with her.
