Allison Collazo

Allison explores a wide array of therapeutic approaches and utilizes each in an intentional way to meet the need of each client. More specifically, Allison values and utilizes psychodynamic, gestalt, and existential theories to guide her as a clinician. Allison believes that each individual’s needs are unique, and thus, the counseling approach should adapt to those specific needs. Her view of counseling is to provide a safe environment without judgment, a place to edify truth and provide a voice for one’s own story, and to pave the way for healthy transformation. Allison received training on strategies for trauma awareness and resiliency, trauma’s effects on the brain, and attachment and neuroscience.
