Dr. Allison Chambers-Dixson

I practice primarily from a Gestalt therapy orientation that is humanistic, holistic, and experiential. I also integrate cognitive behavioral, somatic, and parts work as needed. I approach therapy collaboratively, with the assumption that you are the expert of your experiences and my role is to guide you toward increased awareness, insight, and behavior integration in order to make meaningful changes that meet your goals. I believe psychotherapy is a powerful tool for achieving self-understanding, reducing distress, and relieving symptoms.

My approach to therapy is warm, direct, and often infused with humor. I am open-minded and enjoy working with patients from a variety of backgrounds, identities, and phases of life. I strive to be aware of how my identities and experiences impact my patients and the therapy process.

During the first session my priorities are to learn about you as a person, discuss your goals for therapy, gather relevant history, and discuss the therapy process and how we can collaborate to achieve your goals and help you feel relief.
