Hi there! My name is Allison, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate. I am currently under the supervision of Krystin Holmes, PhD, LPC-S, LMFT-S, NCC. I received my B.A. in Communications at Sam Houston State University as well as my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Go Bearkats! I have a deep respect for people who recognize their struggle and are willing to do something about it. I offer a compassionate and empathetic approach to each and every one of my clients.
I tend to operate from two different therapeutic frameworks. Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Narrative Therapy. You will find more about these two approaches in my FAQ section. While these are my main modalities, I will utilize different techniques from different therapies to make sure you are getting the care you deserve. The most important thing is, I don’t think therapy is forever. I equate therapy to car maintenance. There will be times when more maintenance is more necessary than normal, but the goal is to be able to learn and manage our problems effectively. Once we achieve this, I want you to go out and thrive. Of course, I’m always here for a tune up!
I have experience in psychiatric hospital settings, crisis prevention, mid-crisis management, and crisis follow up. I strive to create a therapeutic experience that does not shy away from crisis. I want to provide my clients with the most appropriate care in managing some of the scariest experiences they might ever encounter. As a recovered perfectionist, I have a passion for dealing with perfectionism and the stress that comes with it. Along with those struggles, I work with you to treat a list of other experiences that you will see in my services section. If you have any questions, please reach out through my contact form. I will be happy to answer any that you might have.
