Getting to know Allison Dwyer
Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in PA, and I’m currently accepting new virtual clients. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Addiction Studies Certificate in 2015 and have worked in substance use disorder and mental health treatment since 2014.
I have a passion for working with individuals from dysfunctional or addicted family systems, as well as those navigating codependency. I believe that understanding the dynamics of relationships is crucial for healing and growth. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore these patterns and develop healthier connections.
I also enjoy supporting individuals at all stages of addiction recovery. This might mean you are wanting to explore your relationship with substances, have recently completed inpatient treatment, or need assistance in creating a personalized relapse prevention plan.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am best positioned to serve individuals navigating the complexities of addiction and / or family recovery, particularly those within the LGBTQ+ community. I understand the unique challenges and concerns faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, including issues related to identity, acceptance, and societal norms and pressures.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strength-based, individualized, solution-focused, and direct.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, I will gather background information and create a supportive environment for you to explore your current challenges. Together, we will discuss your goals and develop a plan for our follow-up sessions.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
