Alison Kwolek

My communication style

I present in a calm manner and try to provide my clients a peaceful place to share. I practice active listening to focus on details and ensure I am in tune with my clients goals and needs in each session, even as they grow and change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my own mental health journey in high school when I started therapy for the first time. I appreciated the separate space to be able to share feelings and understand my struggles. I strive to give my clients a supportive setting to share about any and all aspects of their lives, and feel safe doing so.

My goals for you

I look at therapy as a team activity. Clients bring their strengths and knowledge of themselves, and I provide a supportive setting and expertise to help them meet their goals. I believe therapy can help us achieve all kinds of goals, and I am flexible in my approach to assist clients towards improvement and growth.

Our first session

The very first session is a get-to-know-you session. I try to explore various parts of a client's life so I can get a snapshot of the good and the bad. I want to make sure I come away with an accurate picture of a client's goals and provide clients with skills they can begin to try day one.
