Accepting New Clients- Many of my clients are in recovery, have traumatic family dynamics, and generally struggle to feel settled in society. I’m interested in what brought you to the moment of seeking out therapy and how I can support you with getting your needs met. Historically I have worked with people impacted by trauma, especially those whose healing has become complicated by financial difficulties and a broken system. I have over 5 years of experience with trauma, and often help those who experience negative self talk, shame, anxiety, and depression.
I work for a body-neutral, Health at Every Size (HAES) aligned- practice. We want clients to feel safe from diet culture, body shame, and toxic wellness culture. Many of our clinicians are in larger bodies themselves and we believe health is morally neutral.
Finding the right therapeutic match is essential to getting your needs met. I am happy to consult with you to see if I am the right therapist for you. Should I not be the best fit, we can help refer to another therapist at Hello Me Therapy or a community partner.
Call or Allison Howells now for a free 15 minute consultation - (503) 966-9180
