Hi there! My name is Allison and I am the Founder and Director of Evergreen Counseling. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Science at Ashford University and my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at Indiana Wesleyan University.

I provide psychotherapy for children, teenagers, and adults. I am experienced in therapeutically supporting mothers and providing support for parents of special needs children. I also assist with parenting issues and provide parent coaching and education.

I work with individuals with autism, ADHD, anxiety, anger, adjustment disorders, emotion regulation and trauma processing (and a lot of other life stressors!).

I am an advocate for animal therapy and emotional support animals and can provide an assessment to determine if you are eligible for an ESA letter.

I also specialize in providing Autism and ADHD evaluations and diagnoses for children, teens, and adults. I understand that waitlists can be years long and getting validation of your neurodivergence in a more timely manner can be empowering and provide valuable insight. I utilize a sensory-based approach that focuses on the strengths of the individual to gain a complete picture of the whole person. I enjoy providing a neurodivergent affirming environment and will be as accommodating as possible during our time together.

I am a creative solution-focused therapist and I prefer a holistic approach to treating the whole person. I utilize various interventions within CBT, DBT, relaxation, and strength-based modalities.

I believe that one of the best indications for client success is the relationship with their therapist. For that reason, I will do my best to build rapport and a true connection to help us achieve our set goals, together!

When I am not in the office, I am spending time with my family and pets on our small country homestead. I enjoy reading books, grilling out, and floating down a river!

I can’t wait to meet you!

Love,

Your new therapist
