I work with clients by offering psychotherapy integrated with art-making and/or evidenced-based practices (CBT, solution-focused, & EMDR Therapy). My therapeutic approach utilizes nonverbal expressing and exploration through a variety of art materials, play therapy, and/or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing techniques in addition to verbal processing. I take a multi-sensory, creative, strengths-based approach to therapy that meets each client’s individual needs. My goal is to provide a space where my clients can express their thoughts and feelings, learn more about themselves, and find the support and solutions they are seeking. I encourage my clients to engage in the creative process to facilitate communication, insight, self-awareness, social-emotional development, and personal growth. Through a non-judgemental compassionate lens, I hope to work with you and begin your process of healing. Together, we can uniquely explore your feelings, thoughts, relationships, and goals to bring to light a better you. Treatment can address: mood disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, assault and abuse survivors, PTSD, or other stress-related issues.

From intern to Prevention Grants Coordinator and now Prevention Director, Allison Jarvis has called Bacon Street her home since September of 2018. Fancying herself as a lifelong student, she spent decades working towards her hard earned BS from Old Dominion University. She graduated in spring of 2019 with a major in Human Services, and one year later she began working on her MSW from George Mason University. Bacon Street appealed to Allison because the adolescent population experiencing substance use disorders and mental health concerns is personal. Having overcome her own challenges during her teen – young adult years, she is an empathetic presence to youth. Being a mother of a teenager, she also understands concerns felt by parents and caregivers- no matter how smooth or bumpy of a road they may incur. And speaking of roads, that is where you will find her when she is not engaged in work or school. An Ambassador to the Virginia Capital Trail, Allison enjoys cycling and being outdoors along with admiring art in all of its forms, random road trips, her ornery rescue dog and cat, and her most favorite of all – time spent with her family.
