Allison Zweig MswI am a clinical social worker with extensive therapeutic experience in various settings. These include domestic violence shelters, inpatient hospitalization programs, outpatient case management agencies, Whitman Walker, and an outpatient behavioral cre center. My passion and clinical focus is supporting women and families with concerns around sexual health and reproductive psychology. I see clients individually and am also available to supervise LMSW therapists. I have been trained in peripartum mental health and W-PATH standards of care. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore their stories. I want to be part of that space for you. My clinical presence includes focusing on your strengths, exploring the systems in your life, and looking at your relationships. My goal is to affirm all the parts of your story. You will choose where we begin. Together, we will access the healing energy that you need. Here are a few pieces of my story: I received my B.A. in Anthropology; my M.S.W. focused on clinical work; I also hold a teaching certificate. I have two college-aged kids who try their hardest to keep me current. In my free time, I like hiking, paddleboarding, or engaging in something creative.
