Hi, I'm Allison Biles, a Licensed Professional Counselor who has over 10 years of experience in community behavioral health centers, inpatient facilities, and a private practice setting I enjoy helping adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and adjusting to recent life changes.
My approach
While using person-centered, CBT, and mindfulness approaches to helping, I will provide a safe and supportive space free of judgment and bias where we can begin a collaborative journey towards improving quality of life and feeling more fulfilled in all the roles you play.
My focus
Are you feeling overwhelmed or unable to make decisions? Are you struggling with excessive worry, racing thoughts, or feeling out of control? Is fatigue, a lack of motivation, or low self-esteem something you have noticed? Perhaps it has been difficult to adjust to recent life changes in your personal or professional life. You are not alone and I am here to help.
My communication style
You will be met with a person-centered approach that takes into close consideration your unique worldviews, value systems, and core beliefs. I too have struggled with finding my place in this ever-changing fast-paced world and genuinely understand the importance of having an ally who is consistently warm, accepting, and compassionate.
My journey to mental healthcare
Prior to becoming a licensed therapist in TX, I taught Kindergarten for nine years in the public school system and longed to continue helping others on a smaller scale. I too have struggled with finding my place in this vast world and truly understand the importance of having an empathic ally who is consistently warm, accepting, and free of judgment.
My goals for you
You as the client have agency and ownership in this collaborative process. Upon first meeting, treatment goals will be established and continually evaluated and/or modified by both yourself as well as I.
My first session with you
The intake session can often look and feel much different than the subsequent sessions. Consider it more of a Q&A appointment while the sessions that follow, look and feel much more like a naturally flowing conversation between two people working towards common goals.
