About Allison Metz

I have more than 15 years of clinical experience in private practice, medical family health center, community-based agencies and residential treatment environments. I have a history of specializing in trauma and abuse, borderline personality disorders, family issues, depression, anxiety and postpartum depression/anxiety.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my Master’s degree in Community Counseling both from John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio.

I have training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I have worked with toddlers, children, adolescents and adults.
