It was Irvin Yalom who said something to the effect that "psychotherapy is like a dress rehearsal for life". With this said, it is my intention to not only offer you support in therapy but to also help you generalize the skills you learn in therapy and apply them in your outside life and relationships. I specialize in anger, depression, and anxiety management for adults and adolescents. I also enjoy working with highly intelligent adults and teens who have a difficult time adjusting and adapting socially. This includes working with individuals on the high functioning end of the Autism scale. I employ many different therapeutic techniques such as client centered, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Existential. I try to offer a balance of insight and sensitivity to each client and family that I see, and get client feedback each session. Given my training in philosophy, I also offer philosophical counseling when relevant. This includes incorporating the philosophical works of Nietzsche, Sartre, Schopenhauer, Kant, Yalom, Spinoza, Heidegger, etc. I can also administer various personality and intelligence tests.

Allison Dreshfield
Hi there! My name is Allie (she/they). I truly admire the effort you’ve put into seeking support on your mental health journey. That’s how I view this work—collaborative and centered on *you*. You are the expert of your own life, and I bring my training and lived experience to help support your goals—whatever they may be. If you're not quite sure what those goals are yet, that’s completely okay. We can explore and define them together. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Minnesota State University, Mankato. I specialize in working with transgender and gender-diverse individuals, polyamorous clients, and neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and Autism. My work often focuses on challenges related to attachment trauma, sexual identity, and executive dysfunction—but I don't reduce people to their diagnoses. I am also passionate about empowering fat and plus-size individuals to feel confident and at home in their bodies, just as they are, free from judgment and harmful societal narratives. Additionally, I am kink-positive and strive to create a space where all expressions of consensual sexuality are respected and supported. My therapeutic approach draws from Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Experiential/Creative Arts. I ground my work in humanistic and Buddhist philosophies, valuing presence, compassion, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Hello, and welcome to my virtual office! I would first like to acknowledge your strength and courage in taking this step toward making your mental health and wellness a priority.

I seek to minimize “labeling,” and strive to make a genuine human connection with clients as they share their unique worldview and experiences. Ultimately, I believe it is the client who is the expert of his or her own life. It is my goal to provide an empathetic space where clients feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves and live in their truth.
