Great to meet you!

I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I hold certifications in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behaviors Therapy and Child Parent Psychotherapy. I earned my master's degree from Columbia University and Ph.D. from Fordham University, Schools of Social Work. As an educator, I am a Senior Adjunct Instructor at Columbia University and Adjunct Instructor at Silver School of Social Work, NYU.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a therapist of color, I recognize how crucial it is to view your values, beliefs, and experiences through a cultural, social justice, and spiritual lens. Being widely traveled allows me to understand diverse cultures and traditions. Yet, I continue to learn from my clients every day.

What you can expect from our first session

Trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can hinder your path. You might feel stuck or powerless, as if you have no control. You may struggle with intrusive thoughts or painful emotions, blaming yourself or others. You might lose hope of things getting any better. I’m here to support you during that transformation.

My approach is collaborative, integrative, and adapted to your unique goals and needs. I’m here to serve you with authenticity, empathy, and without judgment.

Allison's style is

Empowering
Open-minded
Solution-oriented
