Allison Schultheis
Licensed Professional Counselor
About
Hi. My name is Allison Schultheis. I go by Allie. I’m 53 years old and have been counseling for about 25 years with a Masters in Social and Community Psychology and hold LPC licenses to treat clients in Arizona and Colorado. I am married and have 2 children. In addition, I have a deep heart for those who are isolated, in pain, or grieving personal loss. I have experience in intensive based Family Therapy, Individual, Groups, and Couples therapy. In addition, I receive and have been trained in phone based/video counseling services and am quite comfortable with the Telehealth modality.
I provide Christian Counseling based on the Cloud Townsend Growth Model of Character plus Competency. I have been trained by the American Association of Christian Counselors for my continuing education, as well as ongoing trainings in experiential modalities including psychodrama. In addition, I’ve invested 10 years of participation in education and mentoring with Cloud Townsend Resources trainings, the Townsend Leadership Program and personal life coaching. This model incorporates the elements of Grace, Truth and Time to our growth in developing an interdependent system of support. My style is eclectic pulling from Reality Therapy, Psychodrama, Object Relations, Client Centered Therapy, and Life Coaching.

Building safe supportive non familial relationships,
Developing boundaries

If you need a counselor who comes alongside you to help you find a place you can release shame, reach your own goals, grieve losses, and live life well within reality, I may be a good fit. Your treatment plan will be your goals within the areas of clinical health, functional success in your work and parenting roles, spiritual growth, meaningful relationships, and developing and taking risks in defining your gifts and talents. My desire is in developing a life producing relationship with you where you know I am for your growth and success. And then, help you develop your own team of support.
