Who is Wellness Alley, LLC:
Hello, I’m Allison White, ACSW, LCSW, CCDP-D (Wellness Alley, LLC) and I provide therapy that will help you achieve your life goals as well as help you remove whatever obstacles stand in the way of achieving them. Together, we will develop goals and identify the areas that are creating an imbalance in your life. I use Motivational Interviewing and a strengths-based perspective while also bringing in alternative methods of stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness, meditation and deep breathing. I am also certified in co-occurring disorders and can assist with issues of addiction.
If you are suffering issues around the loss of a pet and it’s more than you can handle on your own, I offer pet loss counseling sessions to help you deal with the loss or to assist when having to make difficult decisions regarding your pet. Both individual and group sessions are available.
