Allyson Mixer

My communication style

My goal is to create a kind and non-judgmental space where you can share things out loud that you may have only thought about. I'm here to listen to you and support you. I may ask questions to make sure I grasp the depth of what you're sharing. You can always expect empathy and responsiveness and for me to be calm and present.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love helping others feel seen, heard, and valued. Making connections about where your history and the choices you're currently making intersect can be incredibly rewarding. We have the power to make some life changes and then importantly, to connect about what's out of our control.

My goals for you

I customize work to each client and often pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to discuss thought patterns and coping strategies. I use Solution-Focused techniques for short-term interventions. I encourage client feedback to share what they find helpful or don't feel works for them.

Our first session

I will help make your first session as easy as possible. I'll ask questions to help discuss what prompted you to take the step to start therapy now. I may ask some about your current routine and about how you're taking care of yourself. It's easy to find sharing your life overwhelming, but my goal is to make you comfortable.
