Allison Joy
Introduction
I am a neurodivergent clinician providing individual therapy services in downtown Durham working with primarily neurodivergent individuals with ADHD, ASD and/or OCD and presenting with additional Anxiety and trauma symptoms. My clients are mostly within the LGBTQ+ community and between the ages of 12-65 yrs old. I facilitate change using my training in multiple evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches. These include Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention(ERP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with a firm foundation of Attachment Theory and additional somatic-based practices. I find it very helpful to integrate Internal Family Systems(IFS) and Sand Tray as well, along with other role-play techniques as needed. You will be involved in curating treatment that suits how you learn, express and process best. In sessions I may guide you to feel more connected with your body, practice active mindfulness, and effectively cope with intense emotions; I most likely will teach you tools for more open and authentic communication and help you challenge old negative beliefs while encouraging your actions to be more aligned with your values. Let's get you to a place where you feel more in control, self-confident, and connected with yourself and others!
