Eva Allison, MA, Resident in Counseling

Eva views therapy as a collaborative space to co-create a healing experience that’s uniquely your own. Her work is rooted in a trauma-informed perspective and draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and existential therapy.

How has December felt for you??
