Beyond the Couch Wellness

Background

Alison Thayer is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has worked with adults, adolescents, children and couples since 1998. She has worked in many sectors of the mental health field, ranging from non-profit community mental health to corporate behavioral healthcare and private practice. In 2011, Alison joined a group private practice and through multiple leadership roles, she led expansion efforts resulting in exponential growth and success across five states. After serving as the Executive Director, Alison decided to get back to her roots and is now focusing more on direct practice with clients and consultation for therapists.

Alison holds specialized certifications in anxiety and integrative mental health, which emphasize underlying factors that may be connected to the client’s mental health and overlooked by generalized therapy approaches. She offers a collaborative, goal-oriented style while offering space and tools to empower clients to make effective changes. Alison aims to be supportive while also gently pushing you beyond your comfort zone.

Consultation

Alison has supervised interns, those working towards licensure and fully licensed therapists for over twenty years. She is honored to provide consultation in her work today, with specific interest in supporting group practices and those moving into private practice from other areas of the mental health field.

Taking Action

Beginning the process to find a therapist is an important first step in the journey of hope and change. We look forward to hearing from you and what you hope to gain from moving forward.
