Jason E. McAllister, LMHC, LCPC, NCC
Founder & CEO
Clinical Director
I have worked with a variety of different clients with unique and diverse walks of life. I became a counselor because I believe in people's ability to grow, learn and heal. I am here to help guide and facilitate that growth, to meet you where you are to help you heal, learn and grow. I provide a space of non-judgment, that is safe to walk on your path of discovery and recovery. Life can be a difficult journey at times and for different reasons, but it helps to have someone walk along side you as you persevere through these trials. I believe in hope, that even in our darkest of days, hope is on the horizon.
I have many skills that I use to help meet my clients needs. I have specialties in existentialism, such as grief and loss, life transitions, spirituality and quarter-life/mid-life crises. I also work with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress management and trauma. I always work with the client to help them find the right approach.

Claire Roman, LMHC, LPC, Supervisor
I am passionate about relational and trauma healing and hold a trauma-informed, attachment-centered lens when working with individuals or families. In therapy, I aim to help clients identify, understand, and heal emotional wounds. As I get to know you and your needs more, I integrate techniques from several counseling theories to best support your therapeutic goals. My therapeutic approaches pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems techniques, play therapy, attachment theory, and mindfulness skills. I have specialized experience working with children and families in the foster and adoption system.
I believe our past can shape and influence our present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but doesn’t determine our future. The more we learn about ourselves, our experiences, and our interactions with others, the more we can make decisions to rewrite old narratives into a new story of change. By respecting your innate self-understanding, I will work with you to identify and normalize your emotions with compassion and respect for the human experience. When working with families I help members explore existing roles, rules, and behavior patterns, and then identify new ways of relating, understanding, and connecting to each other.
I hope to join you in your journey of self-exploration and partner with you to increase your understanding and acceptance of yourself, learn to effectively communicate your needs, and deepen your relationship with yourself and others.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck, navigating identity questions, struggling in relationships, or adjusting to life changes, therapy can provide a space to slow down and make sense of what you’re experiencing. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
Before becoming a therapist, I was a therapy client myself. Because of that experience, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to seek help and how important it is to find a therapist who feels like a good fit. I work collaboratively with clients, honoring your lived experience while helping you explore new perspectives and tools that support growth.
My approach is person-centered and eclectic, meaning I tailor therapy to your unique needs. I primarily draw from Person-Centered and Narrative Therapy while also incorporating elements of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment-based approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness.
I especially enjoy working with teens (13+), young adults, and adults. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I also enjoy working with individuals navigating religious trauma, members of the military community, parents who want to better understand and connect with their children, and women experiencing life transitions such as perimenopause.
I have lived in Spokane for 25 years and have been married for 24 years. My husband and I have three adult children and two dogs. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the outdoors.

Counseling is a way to navigate through difficult and consuming parts of your journey without having to carry the weight alone. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental collaborative space where you can express yourself freely as you find your way back to a path where you feel more like yourself again.
I mainly draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I believe your counseling experience should be uniquely tailored to you. To ensure our work meets your specific needs, I also integrate Person-centered therapy, and Solution Focused techniques. I am passionate about supporting children, families, individuals and the LGBTQ population as they are working through trauma, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger and ADHD, boundaries and communications.

Lee McCormick, LMFT
Hello, my name is Lee and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. However, before I was ever a therapist, I was a client. I’ve been lost in the world and needed help. It was hard to admit. So first, let me honor your courage in understanding you may benefit from support. I won’t say I’ve been in your situation - because that is unique to you - but I know from my own therapy journey how daunting it can be to find a helping professional who not only makes a difference, but also is a good fit relationally. After all, the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important elements of successful therapy.
I work from an eclectic standpoint, utilizing many modalities to help you gain the most from your time with me. Of particular importance to me is making sure you feel heard and understood. I want to honor your lived experience and expertise while providing additional perspectives and insights that help you attain your goals. This is the essence of person-centered and narrative therapies, my most used modalities. I also pull from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. I also deconstruct power dynamics in the therapy session through a feminist and culturally-sensitive lens.
I am deeply passionate about working with neurodivergent and queer individuals, families, and couples. I also enjoy working with parents in connecting and understanding their children, and helping individuals and families move through trauma healing.
Outside of work I can usually be found spending time with my family or curled up in a corner with a good book and coffee.

Cedric Siegel, LMHC
We all experience life in our unique ways, I work diligently to meet my clients where they are at so that I may understand their unique experiences. With this knowledge, I work to create an environment free of judgement so that I can better understand you and help you find a path that works for you.
Unconditional positive regard is a key component to my practice. I have worked in pediatrics helping children from as little as 3 to 13 years of age, I worked with them to develop emotional regulatory tools and skills. I have also worked with Autistic children. I use cognitive behavioral therapy strategies and compassion focused therapy teachings to help my clients better understand themselves. I have worked with clients experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, and social/emotional communication.
Life is hard. We do not need to be told we are not enough and instead told that we are worthy of self-love, compassion, understanding, growth, and safety. Every day is an opportunity to gain experience, and I would be happy to help you in your journey of self-discovery.
