I am licensed in Florida with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with many issues including stress, anxiety, and depression. My true passion is assisting individuals in coping with grief and loss. I use motivational interviewing to work on self-esteem and confidence issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I look forward to supporting and empowering you in that journey.

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.

Alison is amazing!!
She is amazing!
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!
She listens and has solutions! Absolutely terrific at her job. You can sense her level of caring. She works for you!
Alison is Great ! I love the help and support and expertise she offers.
