Alison Fennell
(She/Her/Hers)
Occupational Therapist
The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.
With a deep commitment to understanding and supporting vulnerable populations, I have pursued extensive education and certifications to enhance my expertise. My personal journey of overcoming a rare genetic disorder has profoundly shaped my therapeutic approach, fostering resilience, empathy, and compassion. Driven by a passion for instilling hope, self-belief, and courage in others, I approach therapy collaboratively. I believe the counseling process thrives on mutual respect and partnership, working together to foster growth and healing. As a mental health professional, I bring diverse experience working in detox, inpatient rehabilitation, severe mental health, home visiting, and with individuals in violent, diverse, and drug-ridden communities. I use a range of effective therapeutic approaches and specialize in working with individuals aged 15 and older who are dealing with challenges such as PTSD, addiction, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBTQ+ identity issues, body dysmorphic disorder, personality disorders (including narcissistic and antisocial types), domestic abuse, and schizoaffective disorder.
