Attestations
Written by D.A. on Oct 12, 2019 after counseling with Allison for 3 months on issues concerning relationship
Allison has been an amazing counselor. She's very caring, empathetic, understanding, never judges, and always listens. Me and my wife had some incredibly tough times along with some very intense personal issues. Allison remained 100% neutral and took no side, only helped us figure out what it is we truly need and where our problems came from. Eventually I had her as my own individual counselor also and she was just as fantastic. In the end she helped me through the hardest time of my life and also helped us with the problems and what we needed to do individually to fix them.
If it's as a couple, or as an individual I highly recommend Allison for anyone having a tough time who needs someone to talk things through with.

I had some issues with my special needs child and she helped and empathized with me. I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me so much. I will be using her in the future.
