Amy McAllaster, Licensed Professional Counselor

Real change comes from honest feedback, and I strive to combine compassion with the truth of what I’m seeing. After years of doing my own work, and years of sitting with people doing their work, I have become skilled at efficiently helping people get to the roots of their problems and patterns. I pull most heavily from a psychodynamic approach and relational work. I also regularly use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). In my work with couples and relationships, I draw most regularly from emotionally focused therapy and Gottman methods. I work best with people who have some therapy experience and want to go deeper. My passions as a therapist include relationships, attachment and attachment styles, codependence, motherhood, divorce and healing from divorce, anxiety, family of origin work, boundaries, dealing with and healing from narcissistic relationships, coparenting, and blended or nesting families.
