Guest Bio:
Allison Kuhr is a licensed professional clinical counselor based in Northwest Ohio and is passionate about creating a space to help people sit with and sort through life’s challenges in a way that feels authentic and supportive but most of all, feel guided to help reach their fullest potential.

Allison has always been a helper and feels most fulfilled when serving others.

She has spent many hours on both sides of the therapy couch, which inspired my journey to become a mental health therapist.
