Allison Ciongoli, LMFT

Therapist

Allison earned her Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pepperdine University. Her experience working in community mental health and substance use allowed her to cultivate a passion for trauma informed care. Allison understands that wellness is an intricate balancing act and uses an integrative approach to help her clients navigate anxieties, avoid burnout, manage relationships, and heal after trauma. 

Allison’s goal in therapy is to create a nurturing, secure environment where the client can work through the various stressors of daily life and tap into inner resources for presence, resilience, and happiness. Her approach to treatment is client centered and integrates Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. This approach ensures that concerns are addressed holistically and goals are worked towards in a balanced and supportive manner. She works together with her clients using their strengths in changing unhelpful patterns and behaviors to rewrite a more authentic story.

When she is not with clients, she likes to cultivate a balanced life by spending quality time with friends and family, cuddling her puppy Maple, and seeking new adventures through travel.
