Ms. Allison Keidat
Personal Statement:
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been specializing in trauma-focused care with children, adolescents, and adults across varied settings. I have extensive knowledge in trauma and its impacts, attachment, family systems, anxiety/depression, amongst many other areas.
As your therapist, I value the therapeutic relationships with my clients to help them feel at ease and become empowered in the change process. For clients who have experienced complex trauma, we can work together on helping you heal, recover, and return to a normative level of functioning.
In our work together, we will navigate relational dynamics and stressors impacting your daily living while learning ways to cope with difficult emotions, triggers, and other influences so that you can take charge of your life and lead to a path of fulfillment. I am certified in Eye Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and am currently in training to be certified in Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

"Your office staff and your treatment team's flexibility and kindness have been one of the reasons I've continued to seek care at your office. It's very impressive that you are able to provide a community mental health service in a way that people with and without insurance can afford. I am very lucky to find that level of care at a business that accepts insurance."
"I have been with Psych Choices for almost 20 years. I would and I do trust them with my life, and my mental well-being and health. They are the best, with the respect they have shown me over the years. Even the receptionist will brighten up your day and make you feel welcome."
"Excellent service, very professional."
"I appreciated the opportunity to schedule my appointment and fill out the intake paperwork online! That made this whole process significantly more pleasant. Thank you for making that system available for patients."
"Mr. Tomlinson has helped me tremendously over the past year. Many thanks to the hardworking staff doctors and therapists at Psych Choices."
"I have been a patient at Psych Choices for almost 7 years now and I am very pleased on the treatment and the way the staff and doctors treat you with the utmost respect as a person. They do not just give you medication and send you on your way like some doctors. The doctors and staff genuinely care about you and keep your information private and secure. I would definitely recommend the doctors at Psych Choices to a person in need or if you would just like to talk about everyday stresses. They have great hours also so you do not have to miss work!"
