I call my counseling practice "Wit's End" because that's often the point at which we turn to help. It pauses the conversation for a moment. It is the moment we "hiccup" and turn to curiosity. That's why I'm here. With cleverness, kindness, and hope, we will sit together and navigate what brought you here and how you can move through.
I specifically like to work with couples, adults, parents, every type of relationship, those in chronic pain, and those who are departing some sort of community.
Hey, my name is Alli! I consider myself to be a grounded individual who understands the human experience and just how painful it is at times. However, I have complete trust in my clients' ability to heal themselves & build a more satisfying life with proper support. I do not believe in a cold & detached professional relationship with my clients. I practice professional immediacy, meaning I will interact with you & your story in a healing manner as we explore your life together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Asheville
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Asheville starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a setting where their identity is understood and respected. Others may want focused support around coming out, gender identity, minority stress, or experiences with discrimination. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your search to providers with relevant experience.
Asheville has a strong LGBTQIA+ community, and many licensed therapists and psychiatrists in the area specialize in affirming care. Look for providers who explicitly list LGBTQIA+ support as a specialty, and read their bios to understand their approach and background. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers on Headway — can help you gauge whether a provider is the right match before committing to a session.
Therapy in Asheville can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
