SPECIALIZED TRAINING

Allison’s specialized training has established her as the “Go-To” Therapist for individuals afflicted with Substance Use/Abuse Disorders.

“A life of addiction is a living nightmare— I know because I’ve been there. Addiction had its claws in my soul at the age of 8 years old.

However, it was during a family therapy session, a pivotal moment in my life determined my fate. The Therapist in our session, who later became my mentor and friend, took the time to ask me how I felt about a family member’s substance use. For the first time, someone actually “saw” me and validated my feelings. I no longer felt invisible— I felt empowered. It was then, at the age of 8 years old, I knew I wanted to become a Substance Use Therapist. And I also knew that if I wanted to become a therapist, I’d have to get sober. And so, my journey began.

I started Recovery Inside Out because I wanted to expand the recovery experience to include not only addiction, but recovery from any life experience.”
