Getting to know Allison Biede

Allison Biede is an Associate Counselor currently working under the supervision of Nicole Alvarez. Their license number is 37AC00806200. My name is Allison Biede, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor with a Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults. I truly believe the key to a successful therapy journey is the therapeutic relationship, where the client feels understood and supported by their therapist. I strive to build this relationship with each of my clients by learning about their strengths, hobbies, and relationships and using these as part of their healing process. I believe each individual has the capacity to reach their goals and build happiness in their lives. While working together, I will assist you in overcoming any obstacles, processing past or current trauma, and learning new skills to achieve your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am able to help my clients by creating a safe, supportive, and comfortable environment where they are able to explore and better understand their mental health needs. I truly feel the key to a successful therapy journey is the therapeutic relationship where the client feels understood and supported by their therapist. I strive to build this relationship with each of my client's by learning about their strengths, hobbies, and relationships and using these things as part of their healing process. Throughout my time as a therapist I have had extensive experience working with children and teenagers. While working with this population I have seen the impact social media, COVID-19, and today's society in general has had on adolescent's mental health. I strive to use my expertise and experience to support younger populations in making sense of the world and feeling comfortable and confident with themselves.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My ideal client is someone who has a hard time both understanding and expressing their thoughts, needs, and emotions. This individual most likely wants to understand where their pain is stemming from and why they feel the way that they do. I would work with this individual on identifying current and past stressors that contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression. I would also assist them in implementing new coping skills and improving overall self-esteem and confidence so they are able to better understand themselves and their needs and create their own happiness in their daily lives.
