Pivot Collaborative

Allison (she/they) is an intern therapist, under supervision, who seeks to understand each client’s subjective reality and intersectional identities within a broader systemic context. Born and raised in China, Allison is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese and also has basic communication skills in French. Rooted in her Asian heritage and queer identities, she continually reflects on the complexities of multiculturalism, minority experiences, and intergenerational trauma. She believes in the healing power of personal narratives, resilience, and equitable access to resources. 

Allison is committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and empowering space, offering trauma-informed and queer-affirming care. She approaches her work as both a collaborative partner and an advocate for clients.

She is especially committed to serving clients aged 14 and above from marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent individuals, immigrants, international students, and those navigating complex relational or cultural experiences or situated anywhere along the broad spectrum of self-exploration.
