Are you seeking a happier life? Sometimes we realize that our way of handling challenges is just not working. Major loss or life changes are hard. For some of us, the disconnection we experience with loved ones actually prevents us from feeling loved. Maybe you are a parent with a child that struggles, and you’re just not sure what else to do. Therapy can help with personal and relationship challenges. Therapy can give you the tools and strategies to help you live the life you want and and the life you deserve.

Life can be difficult and most of us are doing the best that we can given our circumstances. Sometimes, things become too stressful and we need outside help. Taking the first step can be scary, but it also shows a level of courage. Ironically, the solutions we may be looking for reside within us- we just need a little help to discover them. With over 27 years experience as a social worker, I have worked with women and female teens of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am also able to communicate in Spanish.

Being a person is so hard, isn't it? Each day we are faced with countless choices & responsibilities - it can be overwhelming. Having a trusted, safe, non-judgmental person to listen and be with each week can make a HUGE difference, and I learned this firsthand! Maybe life doesn't look the way you thought it would by now... Maybe you're struggling to heal after experiencing trauma or loss... or Maybe you're a member of GenZ trying to hope for a future without confusion, judgment, injustice, or pain... As a fellow human, I'd be honored to experience this "rollercoaster" alongside you. The ride is often better with Two!

Hi! I’m Allison! I am here to help individuals who are tired of feeling “stuck.” Who may want to learn how to cope with life’s challenges in a more adaptive way. Who feel disconnected from their bodies and struggle to connect with others in the way they would like. Or who just want someone to talk to in a safe, non-judgmental environment. It gets exhausting trying to navigate daily stressors when you’re already feeling overwhelmed by your internal self talk.

I see myself as a guide and resource on your journey; you decide where we are going and I do everything I can to help you get there. The sessions and course of treatment will be as structured or free-flowing as you decide.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists
How does culturally sensitive therapy work?
A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.
How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?
Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?
While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.
Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?
Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
