Individual Counseling
Individual therapy will be tailored to your needs and go at the pace you feel comfortable with. The hope is to process and find coping skills for the issues that affect your quality of life. In your first session, we will create a plan for our time together moving forward.
Trauma Counseling
Trauma therapy is where you can process loss, abuse, and incidents that have caused you emotional distress no matter how severe. The hope for trauma therapy is that you are no longer ruled by your triggers and flashbacks. Allie uses a modality called EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization) to address unprocessed trauma.
Christian Counseling
Christian counseling can be provided in all areas of service if desired by the client. Allie seeks to create a setting where clients can process the painful things in life in light of a Christian worldview. Allie has a seminary background and specializes in faith issues, church hurt, and ministry burnout.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling can be for dating, engaged, married, or separated couples. Allie creates a neutral ground to process issues, prepare for the next season of life, and provide practical tools for healing your relationships. She is also trained to help couples who have experienced traumatic events together. Couples that participate in pre-marital counseling can receive up to $60 off their Texas marriage license and be exempt from the 72 hour waiting period.
Family Counseling
Family counseling is needed when there are issues affecting the health and functioning of a family. In most cases, the hope is to improve communication patterns and address issues in the family system. Family counseling could involve an entire family, a mother-daughter pair, divorce transition, blended families, parent support, adoption transitions, or substance abuse support.
Walk and Talk
Walk and Talk is a type of individual therapy that allows you to physically walk with your counselor in a park outside of the office. If you feel like sitting in an office might be uncomfortable, this is a great option. Walk and Talk therapy is great for clients struggling with depression, grief, and anxiety. Walk and Talk is offered in Mont Belvieu, Baytown, and North East Houston in Summerwood.
“I have definitely seen a change in self esteem and self-agency while working with Allie that has made me feel more confident to build my life from where I am, not where I hope to be. She is kind, considerate, compassionate, and an amazing listener who intentionally engages with me as a person, rather than a “client”. Allie has helped me move forward with my pain and find coping mechanisms that produce a more fulfilling, healthier, flourishing life and I am so incredibly thankful for her and her work.”
