Allison Ussery

I’m called to provide therapy that sheds light on what you find the most important and learn to explore what you find difficult. The work we do together can focus on many things. Some of them might be struggles with procrastination, chronic overthinking, difficulty with family, burnout, or prejudice at work, home, or school. You may feel like “too much,” “not enough,” or something mixed up in between.

My approach looks like focusing on what you feel in the moment, in the room and in your environment. We will look at what things mean to you as you walk in your own individual shoes, not what you could or should be. If you do feel like you should or could be “better” we can work on what you want to improve but explore why that’s important to you while learning to be a little kinder to yourself. We call this approach existential, humanistic, gestalt, relational and affirming.

For couples/poly relationships, it looks similar. We will explore making meaning of your experience in your relationship, use concrete skills to improve what you think is important but also challenge what may be difficult to see through the clouds.

Social justice and humanitarian efforts are important to my work. I use equitable and decolonized approaches that attempt to amend systematic discrimination and historical injustice and to bring to light those who are stigmatized or otherwise invisible.

I’ve worked mostly with adults ages 18 to 65 from all walks of life using various methods. My approach is existential, humanistic, gestalt, relational and affirming.

I have a strong, data-driven track record of excellent client care with both couples/polyamorous relationships and individuals.
