Services
Simply put, psychotherapy is talk therapy. The therapist and the client form a relationship that is built on safety and trust, which allows the client to unpack the stories of their life and begin to understand how things came to be as they are, today, in everyday life.
Talk therapy gives the client and the therapist an opportunity to make sense of problematic relational patterns such as roadblocks in relationships, personal growth, career issues, as well as problems with anxiety, depression, anger, and other behaviors that seem out of place and unwanted.

We all have the potential to build a better marriage relationship, this happens through building up our basic capabilities and skills through interpersonal communication and growing our capacity to be engaged in a meaningful intimate relationship to our chosen partner. When both partners intentionally put their effort towards this kind of growth, success is inevitable.
Each person develops a complex network of memories, emotions, and beliefs that shape the present and future attachment behavior. It is no accident that of all the possible people to choose from, often the person we select to become the center of our world turns out to have an uncanny resemblance to a person who raised us.
Premarital counseling is focused on educating the couple on how to maintain good love over a lifetime. Sustainable love which occurs in committed long term relationships is based on healthy non-defensive interaction between partners. Healthy love is evident when there is a willingness to meet and respond to the needs of your partner in a don-defensive and non-reactive way.
I personally tried different psychotherapist and was nowhere. From the 1st session with Allyson, she managed to find out what's the problem and untwined it for me. I highly recommend her services to anyone. Let me start out by saying Allyson is the best psychotherapist I've ever seen. I've been to many different counselors and psychologist and none of them have been able to really nail the problem as Allyson has.
