I Am Here To Help

Through Counseling, We'll Turn Painful Moments into Opportunities for Healing, Empowering You to Create the Life You Want to Live.

I Embrace A Holistic Approach With My Clients

​My counseling approach can be described as integrative, working within a framework of trauma-informed care to meet the individual needs of each client. I may utilize various approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-focused feminist perspective.

 

Sometimes life experiences can be difficult and often painful, which leads us to feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. Counseling is a way to understand these stuck feelings and to find support in making the changes you want for yourself. 

Your Counselor

Hi! I'm Allison Poletti. It's lovely to meet you

I love the Pacific Northwest! Born and raised here, I love so much of what this region has to offer. Camping, hiking, backpacking, and outdoor running are just some of the activities I enjoy throughout the year. When not outdoors, I get my creativity on with cooking new recipes or arts and crafts. I love learning, so you will also often find me amid stacks of books on various new topics I'm jazzed about. I'm a firm believer in holistic health, so I invest in my own physical, emotional, and spiritual development.

My Professional Background

I earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Corban University in 2005 and a Masters Degree in Counseling from George Fox University in 2008. I have 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in both community mental health and private settings. I use a person-centered, strength-based perspective to explore how life experiences, thoughts, and feelings impact behavior. Through counseling, you can transform painful emotions into starting points for healing and move forward with the life you want.
