Welcome! I want to first congratulate you on taking the first step, or next step on your journey. I know this journey can be overwhelming and scary at times, and I want you to know I am here to provide support and guidance. I am here to help you navigate through your journey. My name is Allison Kramer, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in the state of Florida. I received my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I have worked in multiple different settings with multiple different populations. I started my career working in a crisis stabilization hospital, as well as a substance abuse recovery center. I made the move to work for a company that operates similar to a private practice allowing me the ability to work with a broader range of clients ranging from children as young as age 5 to adults into their 60s who were struggling with a range of mental health disorders. These disorders include behavioral challenges, ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders, and many more. I was afforded the opportunity with this company to also work specifically on contract with the federal government working with adults on Pre-Trial and Probation regarding mental health and substance abuse challenges. I utilize therapeutic techniques incorporated from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Social Cognitive Therapy. I am a strong believer that for therapy to be as beneficial as possible for the client the client feels comfortable and is able to build a therapeutic relationship with the therapist. To me, this initial foundation is one of the main keys to therapy being successful. I believe therapy has to be tailored to the individual. I take an individualistic approach when working with clients based on the needs of the client and the identified goals. I believe no struggle, challenge, or stressor is too small or too big for me to help you navigate. Life is, and can be, very challenging! I believe you deserve to feel in control and find peace and happiness in your life!
