Allison Jeanette Briggs, LPC

Preferred Name: Allison

About Me

As a certified EMDR therapist, I specialize in trauma healing and PTSD recovery, supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional wellness and mental health. I serve clients via virtual health across the state of Texas and face to face in the Houston area. With a focus on the mind-body connection, I empower women, those who are LQBTQ, or those who have experienced childhood trauma to overcome anxiety, codependency, and PTSD through evidence-based practices like EMDR, Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting therapy. My goal is to help you navigate your healing journey and unlock your full potential for lasting emotional well-being and true authentic living.

Education & Experience

I have nine years of experience as a professional school counselor, eight years of experience as a school parent coordinator and 504 coordinator, and a total of nineteen years of experience in the education system.​​ I went into private practice in June of 2017 and have been working with both adults and adolescents since that time who struggle with self-worth due to trauma, or grief.

Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

I served two years of Peace Corps service as a community outreach coordinator and teacher advisor in Thailand, and two years as a Crisis Hotline Counselor for Crisis Intervention Houston.
