McKinney, TX Therapy, Psychiatry, and Counseling

Hello, my name is Allison. I am an LPC licensed in Texas. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling at Houston Baptist University in 2019. While gaining my experience hours, I worked in both the hospital and private practice setting at the height of the pandemic. I have served patients in both the inpatient and outpatient setting, both adolescents and adults across the lifespan, with mental health and substance abuse treatment. I have experience helping those with trauma, chronic health issues, LGBTQ+ and cultural concerns, and those struggling with recent life changes such as divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.

I utilize the DBT framework as it addresses changes clients may want to make as well as sharing skills that will help with acceptance, and the irreverent style still provides empathy and care allowing for clients to feel heard and not talked at. I also utilize CBT, ACT, EMDR, as well as addressing the mind-body connection.

I know how it feels to be looking for answers, to need a safe space to be yourself and figure out life's path. I hope to be part of that place for clients and look forward to being a part of your journey.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 11 years of experience working in integrated medical and behavioral health services, nonprofit organizations, and private practice. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and major life transitions. I strive to offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can express your emotions, feel heard, and work toward your goals.

I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Southern Nazarene University. My therapeutic approach incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered techniques, and a solution-focused style to support transparency, insight, progress, and healing.

Life can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step toward support matters. I provide an open, safe space to work through challenges without fear of judgment. When you are ready, I would be honored to help you move toward healing and the changes you want to make in your life.

Growing up in west Texas, I was raised to be kind and giving with strong faith and family values. As a schoolteacher and counselor, I understand navigating the education system for both children and parents. With 15 years at a behavior hospital, I've worked with every type of mental health struggle. Depression is common in West Texas, and self-care is so important. I use many therapy types including play therapy, sandbox therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and EMDR. Your treatment plan is created with your input and tailored to your needs. My schedule is flexible to accommodate work and school demands.

Using CBT and play therapy, I help people reach their mental health goals. Some need just a few sessions to get where they want to be; others benefit from ongoing support. Everyone is different. Some people just need to be heard, while others need coping skills or support with life decisions. We work together to find what works for you.

I'm constantly learning because mental health work is always changing. Working with all ages, I've discovered everyone has an inner child, so age isn't what matters—happiness is. Don't be afraid to take that first step and see if I'm the right fit for you. My flexible schedule works with West Texas life. I love new patients and look forward to helping you.
