Questions clients often ask.

I work with teens ages 13 and older and adults experiencing anxiety, stress and burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, family dynamics, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation, and personal growth. If you are unsure whether your concerns are a good fit, feel free to reach out. I would be happy to help determine whether my practice is the right place to start.

Therapy is a conversation. There is nothing you need to bring except yourself. During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we will develop goals and create a plan that feels right for you. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs.

Many clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and establish goals. As progress is made, some transition to biweekly or less frequent sessions. The length of therapy varies for each person and depends on your goals and needs.

You will need a reliable internet connection, a computer, tablet, or smartphone, and a private, quiet space where you feel comfortable talking.

I provide individual therapy to teens ages 13 and older and adults. I do not currently provide individual therapy to children ages 12 and younger. If you are a parent seeking support with your child's emotions, behavior, communication, school stress, or family dynamics, a Parent Support Session may be a helpful next step. These sessions are held with one or both parents and do not include the child.

Parent Support Sessions are educational and supportive. We focus on understanding your concerns and identifying practical strategies you can use at home. These sessions are not therapy for you or your child and do not include diagnosis or treatment.

No. Parent Support Sessions are held with one or both parents. This allows us to talk openly about your concerns and focus on strategies that fit your child and family.

We can discuss emotional regulation, meltdowns, anxiety, behavioral challenges, communication, school-related stress, routines, boundaries, family transitions, and other concerns affecting your child at home or school.

The number of sessions depends on your needs. Some parents schedule one focused session, while others return for additional support as circumstances change or new concerns arise.

Parent Support Sessions can be booked directly through the Parent Support booking site. They are not scheduled through Headway. If you have questions before booking, you may schedule a free 15-minute consultation or contact Allison.

If it appears that your child may benefit from therapy, an evaluation, or another service, I will discuss appropriate recommendations and possible next steps with you.

Yes. Sessions are available virtually or by appointment at my North Dallas office.
