Some real-life comments from Dr. Alison’s former patients (with their permission):
“Alison is the best thing that’s has happened in my life. I had spent 10 years with therapists that created limited growth in my life. Since working with Alison, I have become a changed person. From the get go, Alison has provided me with consistent positive guidance in seeing the proverbial light. Being a resistant client, I definitely put her through her paces and she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to supporting me while encouraging me to create a life worth living.
“Alison goes above and beyond what most therapists are willing to do. Alison is truly committed to her patients. She has been available in person and by phone every time I had a crisis. Working with Alison has given me the tools to shed my victim personality and become a confident, positive person. If you are tired of being a victim and passive bystander in your own life, without a doubt Alison Caldwell Andrews is the choice for you.”
“Working with Alison has been the most refreshing change of pace to my previous experiences with therapy. She has worked with me to gain insight to how my mind/body/environment interact while providing empowering tools that are actually effective in everyday life.”
“Alison is truly in the right field; her talent for seeing people as they really are combined with her sense of compassion make her a wonderful therapist. She will really work with you to make a difference in your life.”
“Dr. Alison you are the best therapist I’ve had, and I have seen a lot of therapists!”
“Dr Caldwell Andrews offers her clients an environment that is secure, safe, and affirming. She speaks in full sentences. She never yawns, nods, or says “mmmmm” while you are talking. She is fully engaged in your mind and body health. She is direct, unpretentious, and totally invested in your wellness.”
“You gave me my life back! Thank you forever!!”
“Dr. A showed me how self-sabotaging I was and taught me how to be kind to myself. The funny thing is that I never realized I was being mean to myself. Now I see how much I was getting in my own way.”
“The first time I came I was so nervous! I thought “she’s going to be judgmental” etc. My past experiences with therapists were so negative. But she was so nice!”
“Dr Alison is the only person I feel comfortable with when I need to talk about uncomfortable or difficult things.”

“You really get me.”
“Dr Caldwell-Andrews helped me stop cutting and I never thought that would be possible. I used to cut to self-harm every day. Now I haven’t cut in 19 months. I don’t miss it at all and I thought I couldn’t live without it!”
“Alison was a very inspirational and motivational therapist. She helped me get through some very rough times and is very down to earth.
