Empowered Wellness Mental Health Counseling 90 North Broadway, Irvington, NY 10533

"I met Alison as a 23 year old young black man growing up in Columbus, OH who had just moved to NYC to pursue my acting career. My journey with therapy was stunted by a prior build up of the stigma surrounding mental health, fear from friends’ own traumatic experiences, and bullying for “wasting my money to speak with a stranger about my problems.” However, after working with Alison for only six months now…. I can firmly say that I have moved past the nay sayers and have put my myself and my health as a top-priority. Alison is truly a diamond in the rough. Certainly not a “waste of money”. I would go further to say that what Alison provides is invaluable. She is not a therapist for the people. She is better than that, she is a therapist for YOU. I feel as though I have gained self-confidence and the ability to safely discover myself. More than that, I feel I have the support of a great HONEST friend with nothing but loving intentions to cultivate growth. As I enter this new phase of my life in a new environment, paired with being a 24 year old with rushing and indescribable changes, I am happy to know I have Alison to wrestle my theories, traumas, jokes, and so much more. Go provide love for yourself and start therapy."

"I've been working with Alison for a few months now and she is a godsend! I've struggled with finding the right therapist for me and Alison is always so sweet, accommodating, and genuine. It's always a pleasure to see her and I truly am grateful to her for taking the time to understand me. Alison is invested, resourceful, and patient. She takes the time to understand what your needs are and match your preferences which is refreshing. Alison also takes the time to figure out what tools are most beneficial so that you can experience a wholesome and well-rounded session(s)."

"Look no further if you're looking for support on your mental health journey. I've been working with Alison this year, and it has been a pleasure. I'm no stranger to therapy, and one thing I can say about Alison is that she is genuinely invested in her clients. She takes the time to learn who you are, explores where you come from, and where you want to go -- especially on your mental health journey. I love that she is incredibly tactical and offers ways to put theory into practice. Whether reading a book, creating a vision board, writing, etc., she ensures that there is a tangible way to reinforce the learning. Beyond that, Alison is a great listener and incredibly easy to talk to. Though she is my therapist, her kindness and genuineness make it feel like I'm speaking to someone who could be my sister. I look forward to continuing my work with Alison."

"I have been seeing Alison for a while and I always leave our sessions ready to face another day. She is warm, kind, and honest in her approach. She has helped me manage my anxiety and make strides towards healing from trauma. Since seeing Alison I have recommended her or counseling to many people."

"I have known Kate for many years. She is compassionate and extremely competent. Her excellent communication skills allow her to connect with her clients in one-on-one, family and group settings. She is an empathetic motivator and source of support for all types of personalities. Kate is highly skilled in proactively resolving issues, diffusing stressful situations, and achieving challenging goals and objectives. Highly recommend her!!!"
