I can't recommend Allison Grace strongly enough, she is amazing! She is so helpful, such a great listener, and so insightful. I never feel judged and feel as though I can tell her anything.

Ally is absolutely phenomenal. I was a little hesitant to make the switch to online therapy, but overall its been a great decision. She's been by my side since September and I really appreciate how open our communication is. I've been able to put more focus on my mental health and have a more balanced outlook.

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.

We worked with Allison for 6 months and thought she was great. She helped us developed skills to better communicate with one another and also helped us better ourselves as individuals. She is a wonderful listener and does an amazing job acting as a unbiased mediator when resolving conflicts and working to better understand one another's perspectives. Highly recommended.
