More about Alison

- LMHC
I believe that mental health is about learning how to live in a way that achieves happiness--with yourself, in your important relationships, and in your work. Just as you can learn habits that improve your physical health (exercise, healthy diet, good sleep routine), you can learn to behave in ways that promote your mental health. I will work with you to solve the problems that you want to solve--and help you get clear about what is preventing you from solving them. I know that everyone has unique strengths and challenges and I will help you understand these. Even though your problems might not seem as important as the things that affect other people, I believe that we all deserve to be happy and love our lives. Your problems will be important to me. I have 20 years of experience as a professional counselor and a lifetime of learning and living to gain the knowledge and insights that can help you.
It is very courageous to begin this process. Congratulations for considering it!

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.
