Alison Miller
Hello! My name is Alison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 6 years of experience.

I will provide a safe, trusting environment to empower you through your healing journey. I approach psychotherapy by meeting you where you are at without judgment. I communicate during therapy using an upbeat tone, while soft in offering emotional support. My demeanor is empathic and supportive. My passion is to help you identify unhelpful patterns, build a healthy relationship with yourself and/or others, and improve your daily functioning.

Krista McCarthy
After a long and incredibly fulfilling career in oncology social work, I left the medical field choosing instead to transfer all I have learned into the more personal setting of private practice. This has allowed me the wonderful opportunity to really lean in and focus completely on the one-to-one support I had always been so passionate about but rarely had the time to pursue in the hospital. Presently my practice is fully remote. I am collaborative, interactive, and always open to feedback as we take this journey together. As far as my clinical approaches, I draw a great deal of inspiration from meaning-centered psychotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and self-compassion approaches. Most importantly though, my role is to hold space for you, creating an atmosphere of unconditional support and safety so that, together, we can explore and address the challenges you are facing. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible.

My therapy style is to help clients feel relaxed, by establishing a comfortable atmosphere, sometimes using humor where appropriate, to help clients get to a place where they can speak genuinely and honestly about their lives and their struggles.

I have a genuine interest in hearing people's stories, which client’s feel, and they appreciate the attention and connection that is being formed.

I approach therapy as an open, safe, and comfortable place for clients. I immediately work on creating a good client-therapist bond. I encourage open communication and collaborative work toward creating goals. I ask clients, as part of therapy and to increase the completion of goals, to do the work we discuss outside of therapy. I ask for a commitment from them to do the work otherwise the process is slower and the chance of reaching goals is decreased. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group.
