Miss Shamah is an excellent therapist. My 13 year old daughter felt very comfortable with opening up to Allison about her feelings and emotions pretty quickly. After a few sessions, I noticed an improvement in her attitude and ability to process her emotions. Allison is professional, trustworthy, competent, empathetic, compassionate and reliable. All the qualities you would want in a therapist. I would recommend her to anyone that needs support to improve their mental health.
