About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with 7 years of experience in providing mental health and behavioral counseling in various settings and various aspects of counseling. I have worked with couples and successfully helped them through varied relationship issues to rejuvenate their relationship and effect positive changes in their lives. I have also worked with individuals ages seven to adult with a variety of mental health, family/behavioral presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, and addiction, suicide assessment, and prevention. I approach the therapeutic relationship with a friendly manner and a warm atmosphere. Many individuals are afraid to seek therapeutic help because of fear. So, I seek to build a therapeutic relationship with friendly trust.
I have experience in providing individual counseling, family counseling, group counseling, mental health therapy, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention in the community, in homes and the prison setting. My therapy style is warm and friendly. I think that many individuals forgo meaningful help from therapy because of misconceptions and fear of sharing intimate details with a stranger. I operate from the theoretical vantage points of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Reality Therapy, Brief Solutions Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cynthia Allison. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Cynthia has been great to work with. We really enjoy her and have noticed a difference in our relationship.
Cynthia listens well and offers her professional thoughts on any concerns we have.
Great. Timely. Smart. Good advice. Connects.
She is an amazing counselor. She does a great job of making sense of our own thoughts.
Cynthia has been a wonderful therapist to work with and has really helped and is continuing to help us work through a rough patch in our relationship. Cannot not recommend her enough.
Cynthia has helped us to shine a bright light on what we love about each other, and helped us realize that we have what we need to make our relationship work. We were having an issue that we could not get past on our own, and had separated. As tough as the separation was, I was hopeless that we could try again, but with our depth of love for each other and Cynthia's support, my partner and I are closer than ever, making plans again for our future and we have put the past, well, in the past (where it belongs). We are so thankful.
Great provider!!!
Wonderful and insightful
I have only been talking with Cynthia for a few weeks, but she is so warm, sincere, and phrases things in a way that really helps me think productively throughout the day. I am so happy to finally have found a counselor that I want to continue with.
