About Allison Gainer

Hello there! As an experienced higher education professional and a Licensed Associate Counselor, I'm deeply committed to helping individuals achieve their personal and professional goals. I have a proven track record of working in the higher education industry, guiding students as they navigate their academic and career journeys. My passion lies in a holistic approach to career counseling, emphasizing wellness and well-being. Taking care of oneself is essential before one can truly flourish, and everyone has the potential to succeed. I am dedicated to helping individuals unlock their full potential. In addition to my work in career counseling, I am a disability warrior and accommodation consultant, as well as a neurodiversity advocate and change-maker. I vigorously promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, believing that we all have a role in creating a more just and inclusive society. My role as a Licensed Associate Counselor and accommodation consultant enables me to provide more resounding support to individuals, helping them overcome challenges related to accessibility and advocating for their rights to equal opportunities. My passion for educational leadership and animal-assisted intervention/pet therapy has led me to explore new and exciting avenues to promote positive change in the world. I've seen the profound positive impact that animals can have on mental health and well-being, and I am committed to advocating for this critical field and raising awareness of its many benefits. Overall, I am driven by a passion for helping individuals reach their goals and positively impacting the world. As a Licensed Associate Counselor, disability warrior, and accommodation consultant, I strive to empower others, promote well-being, and foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
