About Me

Hi, I'm Alison Lappan, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a Kingston-born-and-raised mom of four young kids, a wife, daughter, sister, and aunt. Life is beautifully chaotic in my world—between parenting, coaching competitive swimming for 9-12 year olds, working in mental health, and caring for our dog and backyard chickens, there's rarely a dull moment.

I thrive in the chaos, but I've also learned that I need quiet moments to recharge. You'll often find me going for walks, getting lost in a good book, or sharing a glass of wine with my close-knit family. When life gets overwhelming (which it does, I make mistakes, get frustrated, and definitely overcommit sometimes), my go-to coping strategies are talking it out with people I trust, reading, and moving my body.

I became a therapist because I genuinely love meeting new people and hearing their stories. There's something profound about sitting with someone through all their emotions (the messy, the hard, the hopeful), and I feel honoured every time a new client walks through my door.

If you're looking for a therapist who gets the real stuff of life (the juggling act, the imperfection, the beautiful mess), I'd love to work with you. I offer virtual therapy across Ontario, so wherever you are in the province, we can connect.

Free Resource: Grounding Toolkit

When anxiety feels overwhelming, grounding practices can help you reconnect with your body and the present moment. I created this free toolkit with 5 gentle, evidence-based techniques (like box breathing and the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise) along with reflection prompts to support your nervous system.
