LPC, 4 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Welcome! My name is Allison, and I am an LPC in the state of Texas. As a therapist, I believe it is important that we challenge ourselves and do hard work while also giving ourselves grace along the way. I enjoy working with those struggling with an eating disorder, body image distress, anxiety, and life changes. If this sounds like you, let's work together!
In our first session, I will be gathering information to learn about you and what has brought you to counseling. We will work on setting goals and a plan for moving forward. Remember, this is YOUR session, so I will provide as much or little guidance as you would like.
I do not use one therapeutic approach in work with Clients. My goal is to get to know each person as a unique individual and provide care and support that works best for them. I am also happy to incorporate faith into treatment, if desired.
I enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with an eating disorder/disordered eating, body image distress, life changes, or anxiety. I have experience working in a residential treatment center for those diagnosed with an eating disorder.
I really enjoy using ACT to help you reconnect to your core values and what truly matters to you. It will also help you to identify and acknowledge your thoughts, emotions and experiences, so you can process through them.
DBT skills are a great way to learn a straight forward approach to improve emotional regulation, communication, and mindfulness.
We will use this to help you identify your strengths and goals.
We will use this to explore how thoughts, emotions, and actions interact with one another.
