Getting to know Lisa Allison

Hi, I am Lisa Allison- a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Educational Specialist in School Psychology. I have over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Therapist. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Master's in Social Work and National Louis in Chicago with an Ed.S in School Psychology. I am board-certified in Ohio, Illinois, and Nevada. I access several different approaches to treatment based on what works best for each individual. Creating a therapeutic relationship and establishing trust are the foundation for effective therapy. My approach I am trained in family systems therapy, therefore, I utilize an understanding of family history and generational patterns. For some clients the past is not as important as the here and now, therefore short-term goals to deal with current issues for a better quality of life may be a more practical approach to treatment. I integrate different modalities based on each individual client's needs and preferences. Examples of these modalities are cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, meditation, hypnosis, and my personal favorite - solution resolution therapy. I like it when clients can accomplish their goals without feeling worn out by the lengthy process and beaten down by the financial strain. I appreciate that time and money do not come in an unlimited surplus for most people. I see therapists as a vehicle to empower and encourage clients. My clients find the validation they need to inspire change and reach their therapeutic goals. My focus My background and expertise include helping people with a variety of issues that include anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, self-esteem, motivation, divorce, confidence building, mood disorders, relationship concerns, family dynamics, couples counseling, support groups, social skills groups, emotional stress, life and work challenges, academic and school-related concerns, eating disorders, loss, cancer.
