About

Hi! My name is Allison Pesina, and I currently live in Texas and am licensed in Texas. I am also EMDR trained.  I believe therapy should feel empowering, not intimidating. While I’m here to support, guide, and offer tools, you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create changes that align with who you are—not who others expect you to be. You don't have to do this alone.

Education & Licensure
Masters in Counseling Psychology from University of Houston-Victoria; Bachelors in Psychology from University of Houston- Victoria.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Healing can feel overwhelming—especially when your mind is working against you. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you’re navigating autism, ADHD, or other forms of neurodivergence, your experiences are valid here, and your way of thinking is respected—not something to be “fixed.”

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and honoring your unique perspective. I understand that for many neurodivergent individuals, the world can feel confusing, overstimulating, or isolating at times. In our work together, we move at your pace, focusing on what feels safe and meaningful to you. You are always in control of your story.
