Meet Alison
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 10 years and I am so grateful to be helping others feel hopeful and positive about their future. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical & Counseling Psychology and a Certification in School Counseling in Pennsylvania.
My specializations include work with children, teens, and adults of all ages and across a number of therapeutic settings including education, private practice, outpatient, & residential. I believe this has led to my unique approach in treating individuals based on their own needs while being a guiding force towards self-awareness and growth.
I have an extensive experience working with women struggling with anxiety or depression related to life transitions or life event including trauma, infertility, post-partum, divorce, career, etc. I also specialize in work with children with special needs including ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety (social anxiety, performance anxiety, OCD, panic attacks). I also run multiple therapy groups focusing on Self-Esteem, Bereavement, Anger Management, Impulse Control, & Trauma.
My therapeutic work highlights an individual’s strengths built upon a holistic approach, with an emphasis in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As a cognitive therapist, I guide clients towards finding awareness within themselves that helps them gain insight on thought patterns that may have become upsetting or troublesome. This helps empower clients to create their own change and break negative thought patterns while discovering a life that leads to new possibilities.
I believe the best therapeutic relationship is built upon trust and non-judgement, which provides clients with a safe environment and produces successful outcomes. I offer free 20-minute phone consultations for anyone seeking help, those uncertain about the therapeutic process, or those with general questions.
