*A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required for cancellation of appointments or a cancellation fee will be charged.* Allison grew up in Arlington before heading to Aggieland to earn her psychology degree from Texas A&M University. She returned to the metroplex to graduate with her Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. Now she is back in her hometown and working at our Arlington location. She works with teens and adults, as well as families and couples. Allison has two daughters and a close family she enjoys being around. She served 11 years in public education before making the transition to counseling. Allison has been a counselor in the school, hospital, and non-profit setting which has given her a lot of experience in the world of mental health. She has been in the private practice setting for over 3 years. Similar to her teaching career, Allison is passionate about her clients learning the why behind their thoughts and feelings. Allison uses psycho-education and homework to ensure success outside of the counseling setting. Her desire is to work collaboratively with clients and to have their feedback throughout therapy to see if new strategies and thinking patterns are being successful. Allison is active in her community and believes interpersonal relationships are part of our foundation. Healing wounds within family and friendships, or processing past hurt will lead to a better well-being. Sometimes the unhealthy relationship is with ourself; and in that case, examining our core beliefs and challenging the inner critic will increase self-esteem and self-worth. -Allison Start thriving and not just surviving by scheduling a session today."
