You can bring it all to the table - no judgment. I believe everyone can be understood in the context of their story. I specialize in relationships, & if you are experiencing effects of infidelity, emotional disconnection, loss of sex or intimacy, you can expect a safe, supportive place to land. My graduate research focused on discrepant sexual desire – if you are experiencing mismatched sex drives, you are not broken. My favorite thing in the world is helping you re-ignite your spark!

Allison Duquette

My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: through healthy relationships we can heal. I know this because I've done it. This is reflected in how I show up to session every day and the work that we do together. Many of the barriers that hold us back come from difficulty showing self-compassion and inner acceptance, and my role is to support and guide our individuality to pave the road moving forward. I enjoy bringing creativity into therapy, as it truly allows the personality to shine through, highlighting the uniqueness of all of us, and committing further with intention, to our true and beautiful selves.

You are the expert in yourself, and even though you may not have the answers you want yet, you are the only one who can decide what those answers will be. My commitment to you: I will hold space for you without expectations of who you “should” be or what is “healthy” to do. I am authentically myself with you, not to show you how to live, but to provide an experiential model for creating safety so you can make space for yourself.

It takes courage to seek out help and invite another into one's struggle or vulnerability.

I am trained as a Couple and Family Therapist utilizing a mix of Relational Psychodynamic Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy in session. In our work together, we will explore how your past experiences and relationships inform how you live and function in the present, individually and/or relationally. As we gain an understanding of how you got here, we will also learn what needs to shift in order for you to get to the place you would like to be.

Elizabeth Ogren

Healing and therapy is about coming home to yourself and reclaiming you - your physical body, your emotional body or heart, and your mind. It's not as complex as it may seem - with the right tools and guide you can reclaim you, from whatever it feels has taken you away from yourself. That's where I come in. After about a decade in the healing field I bring the skill, vast resources, and specialized training that you deserve. I am a Somatic Experiential Practitioner, Yoga and Breathwork Practitioner, Auricular Acupuncture Specialist, EMDR practitioner, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, and Certified Post Induction Therapist. If you've tried talk therapy and it just hasn't been enough, or if you've never tried therapy, I hope you'll reach out.
