Alison Outten

Hi, I'm Alison, a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the challenges that come with balancing everything life throws your way. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Together, we'll build practical tools to help you feel more confident, manage overwhelming thoughts, and create lasting change. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Therapy isn't about having all the answers—it's about having a place where you can slow down, process what's going on, and figure out what works for you. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills you can use in everyday life. Whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply stuck, we'll work together to help you feel more confident and create lasting change.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but my goal is to make your first session feel like a comfortable conversation. We'll spend time getting to know each other, discussing what has been going on in your life, and identifying the goals you'd like to work toward. You don't have to have everything figured out before you come in. Together, we'll create a plan that feels realistic and tailored to your needs.
