Allison Pickles

Therapist
LPC

I am invested in helping adults learn to be kinder to themselves through therapy. My clients are people who are invested in change, and who are ready to take a hard look inward and say, “I want something better for myself each day.” My experience ranges from crisis work with those standing on the precipice of a mental breakdown, to those just wanting to lessen anxiety. I am passionate about diversity and equity, and believe all people deserve access to affordable, quality therapy regardless of who they are, who they love, where they come from, or what they look like. My goal is to help clients reach their emotional health goals, while showing kindness and, most importantly, teaching clients how to show themselves kindness. My approach is to understand you as a person first, and to build trust together. I will offer practical skills to help you navigate hard spots in life, and to help you get to know, and appreciate, yourself. By helping clients better see their hidden strengths, and tackle areas they want to improve, I will help them facilitate growth with encouragement and supportive listening. Together we will work to understand what made you who you are, and how you want to mold that current version of yourself into the person you truly want to be. I also believe in humor having a safe home in therapy, and allowing space for clients to highlight joy no matter how small it may seem. I have a passion for sitting with those who are struggling. I do not shy away from big emotions, high mountains, or deep holes. It is in my nature to listen and be present with people, and to focus on finding those oft-hidden paths forward. I am a mom, a dog lover, a crafter, a Coloradan transplant (though I got here as quickly as I could), and a therapist driven to seek solutions and help others make lasting changes that improve the way they navigate this wild ride called life.
