Thank you for reaching out. My name is Allison and I am a licensed therapist in the states of Illinois and Indiana. I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your individual needs. My hope for you is that you will find our sessions to be a safe space where you can share, feel supported, and grow. I enjoy incorporating art and mindfulness into sessions and am able to provide exercises for you to work on outside of our session time.
I have six years of counseling experience helping clients manage depression, anxiety, career changes, relationship issues and goals, parenting and postpartum struggles and complex trauma healing.
I believe you are the expert of your story and look forward to meeting you exactly where you are in this present moment. Your feelings and experiences are valid; reaching out for support shows your strength.
When I am not working I enjoy reading, hiking, and working on art projects. I look forward to connecting with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Allison rules! Only had a couple sessions but she’s the bomb diggity.
Allison is the best therapist I've had! She his helping me through a huge time of transition in my life, and I am so thankful to have her as a resource. I've been processing a lot of family, relationship, and work issues due to her guidance and care. She approaches every session and every issue with care and understanding. I know I can be 100% open with her. She provides me with great insights on how to work on myself and process my emotions both during and outside of our sessions. It's been extremely helpful to use the chat function on the platform to journal my emotions in between sessions. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a safe space to process and grow!
Allison is very easy to talk to and is understanding and very good at talking through any issues. I would definitely recommend her.
Allison has been very helpful and she listens very well! She understands what I am going through and is so supportive! I am so glad I found her!
