Allison Clay is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping others improve their well-being and daily life. She discovered her passion for supporting emotional health while working in a middle school, where she advocated for students' social and emotional needs. This experience inspired her to further her education in Clinical Psychology, allowing her to work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Allison understands how difficult it can be to prioritize self-care amid life’s demands, and she believes that reaching out for support is a sign of strength. She looks forward to working together and being a trusted source of guidance and encouragement. "Everyone is going through something." – Kevin Love

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first virtual session, you’ll be welcomed into a warm and supportive space where you can feel comfortable and at ease. We'll talk about confidentiality, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and challenges while introducing helpful techniques. By the end of our session, you’ll feel heard, understood, and hopeful about the healing process ahead.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As someone who grapples with the challenges of Generalized Anxiety, accompanied by Social Anxiety, I find fulfillment in specializing in assisting others in effectively managing their own Anxiety and Mood disorders to enable them to lead fulfilling lives as their authentic selves. I prioritize dedicating time to enhancing a client's insight and comprehension of their triggers, symptoms, and behaviors that impede their well-being. Simultaneously, I explore and pinpoint legal, safe, and healthy management and coping strategies tailored to each individual's needs, promoting personal growth and an enhanced quality of life. My approach is rooted in the belief that with the right support and tools, individuals can navigate their mental health challenges and emerge stronger, empowered, and better equipped to thrive in all aspects of life.
