Our Philosophy

Helping You Find Your Momentum

Founded in 2015 by Alison Pidgeon, MA, LPC, Move Forward Counseling LLC was built on a simple observation: most people seek therapy because they feel “stuck.”

Inspired by the philosophy that “Life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance, you must keep moving forward,” Alison established a practice that combines clinical expertise with deep empathy. We don’t just listen; we provide the tools you need to regain your balance. Today, our team upholds these rigorous standards of evidence-based care in every session.

“Our team operates under rigorous clinical standards, ensuring that every session—whether online or in-person- meets the high bar of professional ethics and state-licensed requirements.” – Alison
