Welcome! My name is Ally Dagbjartsdottir and I'm so excited for the opportunity to work with you. Therapy is a collaboration, one in which we partner to find ways to help you cope with life's challenges, setbacks, questions, etc. I would love to be the person to help you be the best version of yourself. Therapy is for everyone and anyone and as a social worker, my background enables me to look at things from multiple perspectives. I have worked with children and families for 13 years, 8 of which I have been a therapist. My specialty is working with children, adolescents, and families with trauma backgrounds. I love working with teenagers and young adults as well as parents, but really I just love that one on one partnership that takes place in the therapeutic relationship. I am a firm believer in the strengths perspective. You have what it takes within you; let me help you find your inner voice and together we can find creative solutions to any multitude of issues. You have taken the first step and that is brave. I look forward to hearing from 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.

Just so easy to connect and talk with. Always remembers details even i forgot.
Ally has been wonderful. Listens to understand and offers options to help me through. So easy to connect with and really makes me comfortable to say and discuss whatever my need and thoughts are.
Ally is amazing! I feel listened to without being judged.
Ally has been so supportive and has helped lead me in the right direction to figure out what I need and want in my life. She has always been so nice and so supportive in every single way possible.
I adore my Adalheidur. She’s incredibly understanding and insightful. I feel supported in a way I haven’t been able to find in any other facet of my life. She understands and gives me space to talk. She listens. She meets me where I am and I have never felt judged by her. I could go on and on, but TL;DR: 10/10
After having a few different therapist in my life Ally has helped me more than anyone. She does a lot to help me overcome my anxiety and depression and the issues I have in my life and she pushes me to do a lot on my own so that I can continue to grow. I have made more progress in the time I’ve been with her than I feel I have made the entire time I’ve been in therapy.
Ally is so sweet and I feel cared for. She makes me feel heard and offers very helpful tools that I haven’t thought of to help me
Working with her has helped me make a positive difference in my mindset!
She really listens which helps to process issues. Offers great insight to why I feel the way and I and how to cope with it.
