Get to Know Me Better
PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME - I’M GLAD YOU’RE HERE
WELCOME
Hi, I’m Alison
Dr. Alison McCleary, MCP, PsyD.
I am a daughter, sister, aunt, partner, friend, pet-mom and lover of fresh rain and evergreen trees. I have a passion for psychological work and being able to serve my hometown feels incredibly exciting.
I am deeply drawn to tall mountains and deep talks and I value friendship, finding a way to laugh at the hard parts of being a human, and living a values-driven life.
I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology.
RURAL ROOTS
Northwest BC is Home
Born and raised in Terrace, I love where we live and Woodstove Wellness is my oath of commitment to this community. After running a successful counselling practice here for many years, I returned to university to complete my doctor of psychology, and wrote my doctoral dissertation all about the barriers to accessing mental health care here.
I believe that people deserve good quality, progressive, and thoughtful mental health support that centres authenticity, mutuality, and respect. For a part of BC that has been left out of the conversation for so long, I think it’s time you get the resources you need.
HERE FOR YOU
