Therapy Experience
Allyson's training has been through an attachment-based lens that focuses on processing unmet emotional needs that are deeply rooted. She is primarily an EFT therapist, but she also has training in the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) to process trauma.
Allyson is currently working towards completing certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy. Emotionally Focused Therapy is one of the most effective couples therapy approaches to date. Certification in EFT requires hundreds of hours of supervised couples therapy, which is then reviewed and approved by The International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Allyson participates in weekly clinical EFT supervision by practice owner and certified EFT Supervisor, Haleigh Butler, to ensure the best care possible for her clients. Allyson also attends multiple EFT trainings annually to continue to hone her skills and stay up to date with the model.
