Allison Sallee

Licensed Psychologist (LP) , Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor (LMFT-S)

I’m Allison (she/her), and I’ve spent nearly 30 years supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I want you to know that I love what I do. I have a special passion to advocate for and support those with autism.  I believe change comes when you can understand what’s actually going on, whether it’s autism, anxiety, ADHD, or the everyday complexities of family life. Together, we’ll build clarity and safety, rooted in your own values and goals.

My work blends diagnostic clarity and therapy. If assessment would help you better understand your or your child’s experience, I’ll guide you through practical evaluations and detailed feedback. After that we’ll build a treatment path that’s tailored to the real-life context you’re living in. My goal is to provide insight and actionable next steps.

Therapy with me is collaborative and systems-oriented. We’ll look not just at what’s happening in your head, but how relationships and environments shape your experience. I draw from CBT, DBT, solution-focused approaches, and systems thinking but am always grounded in your developmental stage and family context. Whether we focus on parenting strategies, executive functioning, or emotional regulation, you’ll come away with tools and strategies that feel doable.
