About Allie, MSW, LCSW
Hi! I’m Allie! Originally from Massapequa Park, NY, I moved to Florida in 2003 and have called FishHawk home ever since. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, traveling, spending time with friends and family, and cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning. I’m also a proud cat lover with a beautiful cat named Callie! I’m also the biggest Swiftie you’ll ever meet!
Why I Became a Counselor
Helping others has always been at the heart of what I do. From my teenage years as a camp counselor to my professional career, I’ve always found fulfillment in making a positive impact on people’s lives. In high school, I discovered my love for psychology through an AP course, and that passion has only grown since. As a counselor, I aim to be a reliable, compassionate support for my clients—a shoulder to lean on through life’s challenges. I want to be the person you can trust, vent to, and rely on, no matter what you're going through.
Education, Experience, and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work with a minor in Psychology from Saint Leo University and went on to complete my Master’s in Social Work through Southeastern University’s Advanced Standing program. Right after graduation, I began my career in a hospital setting, where I’ve worked with diverse populations, with a particular focus on women and children. I currently work on the Mom/Baby/NICU/Pediatrics floor, which is incredibly rewarding, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through various life challenges.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and postpartum depression. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and goal-setting strategies. My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive space where you feel empowered to grow, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward becoming the best version of yourself.
