“Almost immediately, Allison’s caring yet direct guidance helped us address our concerns in tangible and lasting ways. As trans, non-binary clients of color, we were initially worried that she would not be able to understand our many complex histories and dynamics, but Allison is able to navigate experiences outside of her own with compassion and confidence. Her thoughtful and clear observations, re-framings, and suggestions have challenged us both to face our own “shortcomings” and to grow as individuals and as a couple. ” — FS

“Allison is insightful and productive. She's been able to effectively challenge beliefs/behaviors I've been trying to understand and deconstruct for a while (where other therapists I've seen in the past have not). Every session brings new revelations. I'm extremely glad I found her.” — MP
