Allison Eckmann

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) with training in an EMDRIA-approved EMDR program.

I offer both traditional talk therapy and art therapy, tailoring each session to your individualized needs, goals, and comfort level. My practice is grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach that honors each person's unique experiences and innate capacity for growth.

My clinical experience includes working in nonprofit domestic violence services, inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, and private group practice. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach to therapy.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in authentic communication, curiosity, and respect for each client's lived experience. I use a strengths-based, client-centered lens to help clients cultivate resilience, build on their strengths, and move toward meaningful growth.

Art integration is central to my therapeutic approach, enhancing self-expression, communication, relationship building, and a tangible pathway for healing. I provide a safe yet open environment for self-exploration - whether we use art, talk therapy, or a combination of both, our work is tailored to your unique goals and comfort level.

My practice is also informed by a social justice perspective, recognizing the impact of systemic influences on our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and lived experiences.Together, we'll build on your strengths while exploring the experiences that have shaped you, creating space for healing, resilience, and growth.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and begin identifying your goals and strengths. Together, we'll create a plan that fits your needs and supports your growth. My hope is that you'll leave feeling understood, empowered, and confident in the direction of your healing journey.
