Biography
Alison Cornell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over seven years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, and trauma. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care to support meaningful progress and emotional resilience. Alison also uses regular assessments such as the DASS-21, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 to track client well-being and guide treatment goals.
Alison’s approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that life’s difficulties don’t define us—they’re opportunities for growth and realignment. She creates a safe and compassionate space where clients can gain clarity, uncover personal strengths, and build practical skills for lasting change. Alison especially enjoys working with veterans, first responders, survivors of trauma, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. In her free time, she loves kayaking, hiking, exploring historical sites, and relaxing with family over games or movies when the weather calls for cozy days indoors.
