About
Allie Herman
Allison has a passion for helping adolescents and young adults thrive. With over eight years of experience, Allison has honed her skills in therapeutic, in-home, and academic settings, where she specializes in working with clients who have issues such as school refusal, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, personality disorders, and is LGBTQIA+ friendly.Allison's approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, warmth, and a commitment to understanding each client's unique needs and goals. She believes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy and takes the time to create a safe, non-judgmental space for her clients to process and heal. Allison works collaboratively with her clients to connect their thoughts to their behaviors, gain awareness about themselves and their environment, and ultimately achieve their treatment goals.
