Allison R. Waldron, Counseling Intern

My Approach

Grief hits you when you least expect it. It is like a wave that crashes onto you and knocks you off your feet. While going through it myself, I found that I had to remind myself of who I was and lean on others not be knocked over. This is what led me back to school to earn a Master’s in Counseling. No one has to go through grief alone.

​

As a counselor intern, I am here to assist in meeting your goals by applying the skills learned thus far and increasing my knowledge through actual counseling experiences. While working as a counselor intern, I am supervised by my program as well as Allison Durant, the founder of the New Orleans Grief Center.   My interests lie in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Art Therapy, and Play Therapy. Learning more about these theories will help me help others through some of their hardest times. I hope to work with clients who are struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, body grief, and those with loved ones in palliative or hospice care.
