Getting to know Allison Child
Hi there, I'm Allison!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s in Counseling from William Jessup University. I focus on trauma-informed care and believe in creating a safe space where you can share your experiences without judgment. I am here to support you in your healing journey. I also believe that every person is unique and has so much to offer, and I’m here to help you tap into all of your strengths and resources.
My approach
I practice various modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, sand tray, systems, narrative therapy, gestalt, human-centered, and IFS.
My focus
I work mostly with teens, young adults, and adults. I have supported many clients with depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, body image issues, and substance use disorders. Many of my clients have more than one diagnosis at once.
My communication style
I create an environment that is comfortable and provide communication that is gentle, kind, and non-judgmental. I am always curious about clients and eager to learn more about you.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always wanted to be a therapist. I’ve been curious about understanding how and why people think, feel, and act the way they do. I have personally experienced the benefits of therapy and truly believe it is an amazing opportunity to learn more about yourself, heal, and create an increased sense of inner peace.
My goals for you
I like to collaborate with clients and explore the goals they want to achieve. I believe goal setting is highly collaborative in nature.
