More about Allyson

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor of 4 years and provide services for children, adolescents, and adults with experience in all levels of care. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and life transitions or stressors. I am personally, professionally, and academically trained to provide Faith based counseling.

My approach is eclectic pulling from Psychodynamic, Solution Focused, DBT, CBT, and Rogerian styles to tailor treatment specifically to the individual. I understand that reaching out for help is a huge step. My goal is to foster a healthy and safe environment to foster healing and change. I obtained my MA from Wheaton College and my BS from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign.

Aside from counseling, I enjoy rock climbing, playing games with friends, spending time with my cat, and going for long walks. I am proud to identify as Asexual.

I look forward to working with 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.
