Allison Wade,

Welcome, I’m Allison Wade (she/her)!

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) providing individual therapy to adults experiencing various mental health concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, addiction struggles, self-esteem, and family/relationship conflict.

I also have experience working with military veterans. 

Education and Experience

My Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are from Kutztown University in Social Work. I have always had a passion for working in the mental health field, especially after experiencing my own difficulties. Through those, I gained self-awareness and a more positive outlook moving through my journey in life. I have always been passionate about helping and guiding others to their inner healing.

Belonging & Acceptance

I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to be yourself. We thrive when we experience belonging and acceptance. Through a collaborative approach, I will work alongside you to explore your intentions and goals for therapy.  I want you to challenge yourself by addressing what has been holding you back so that you can achieve self-sufficiency and resiliency. I want you to be able to grow to your fullest potential.

Specialties & Techniques

A vital part of my practice incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing modalities. I offer a strengths-based, person-centered approach. I received my certificate in EMDR training. Each of these modalities can also be utilized through a trauma-informed lens. This means I can guide you to develop an improved self-understanding of yourself by collaborating with you and using techniques I’m trained in.

I also have experience working with substance use disorder clients for about two years in a drug and alcohol inpatient facility – as a case manager, individual therapist, and group therapist.

About Me

In my free time, I enjoy traveling solo or with friends and family to see new places I have never been. I also enjoy exploring nature, finding new shows or movies, trying food, and listening to music.
