Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT, OCD & Eating Disorder Therapist
Allyson is a wonderful advocate for both the OCD and Eating Disorder communities. Allyson is a highly-skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable clinician who works tirelessly to advocate for those experiencing a mental illness. I have had the honor of having Allyson on my podcast where she eloquently spoke of her own lived experience and her high level of understanding of OCD and Eating Disorders. What is most admirable is that she also advocates for those who are less privileged and who are commonly overlooked in the mental health arena. I am excited to see Allyson grow in her career, as I am confident she is going to do many amazing things.
