Alison Voyer

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the profession, beginning my career as a medical social worker before moving into the mental health field 11 years ago. Over the course of those 11 years, I have worked in a community mental health setting. This has afforded me the opportunity to develop the skills needed to work with a wide range of ages, populations, and challenges as well as to develop specialties in the areas of anxiety, depression, adjustment, and trauma.

I draw from a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment based therapies. Some issues may require a very specific approach such as the use of exposure for treatment of certain anxiety disorders while other issues may lend itself to an eclectic approach. I also appreciate the neuro-diverse world in which we live in and apply this thinking to my work.

I value a person centered approach in which I strive to understand what has brought my clients into therapy and what they are looking for in a therapist. I trust the client as their own expert and work to create a collaborative approach in working toward their goals. My hope is that my clients not only feel heard and understood but also leave each session with increased understanding of themselves.
