Associate Psychotherapist
United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlison Chou is an Associate Psychotherapist and ACSW-registered clinician with eight years of direct-service experience centering BIPOC, immigrant, and family-of-immigrant communities in the East Bay, CA. She brings bilingual Spanish fluency and the lived perspective of an Asian American daughter of immigrants to offer culturally attuned, trauma-informed psychotherapy within an anti-oppressive framework. Her background spans clinical coordination, outreach, and intensive case management—skills honed at Partnerships for Trauma Recovery and Safe Horizon—so she combines therapeutic care with systems navigation and program development. Alison’s training includes an MSW from Columbia and recent certification in Existential Humanistic Psychotherapy, reflecting both evidence-based and relational approaches. She has a track record of building intake and referral systems and running group and individual interventions across community mental health settings. Quietly versatile, she moves between frontline counseling, bilingual family coaching, and administrative leadership to improve access and outcomes for marginalized clients.
