The first session, as with all Thriveworks therapists, will involve talking through your needs and goals for therapy — whether those involve managing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or another mental health challenge. This will enable you to receive the very best care, as a personalized treatment plan will then be developed for subsequent sessions. Thriveworks helps people live happier, more fulfilling lives. Clients are guided and supported as they work through their unique mental health challenges – and, along the way, shown the life-changing power of therapy.

I offer a variety of counseling approaches including CBT / Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems. As your provider, my priority is not focusing on just the "symptom" of the illness, it is to help you understand your mental health as a whole and the "illness" is something you experience and it does not define you.

Alison Graham is aPsychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who hasworked with a spectrum of patients from adolescence to geriatrics. She has helped these individuals with depression and anxiety, all the way to psychosis and self-harm. "Mental illness can be scary and isolating. I am not here to just focus on your symptoms. My purpose is to see you as a whole person," says Alison. "I offer honesty, hope, and humility during every visit. I want to have those tough conversations to then get to those 'I did it!' ones. While working with you, I am also your greatest advocate." "Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it's first brought out into the open," says Alison. "Let's work together to learn how to not sit in the pain forever but to sit in it for just enough time to grow from it."
