Allison is very thoughtful, energetic and kind. She has been extremely helpful to me even after just a few sessions. She does a good job of being professional without making you feel like she is "at work". You can immediately tell she cares and loves what she does.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I always feel better after meeting with Allison!
I've noticed a lot of changes every day after starting this app. It makes me feel stronger knowing that if something makes me upset I can talk to Allison about it. Any time, any place. My migraines are more manageable and my mind feels more relaxed. She has shown me a shiny new perspective and given me positive revelations.
Allison is wonderful. She listens and picks up key points and areas of focus with every session. I have been wanting to try therapy for years now, and this has been a great experience. I highly recommend her if you are looking to get rebalanced and dealing with anxiety.
