Meet our Intern, Alli!

We are so lucky to be welcoming Alli, a Mental Health Counseling intern from Mount Olive University this year! She is passionate, excited, and ready to work with you!

Interns at Phoenix Rising work with close supervision under Becky Hellwig, LCSW. This means that sessions with them may include Becky sitting in, participating in parts or the majority of the session, consultation with Becky regarding your case, and with your consent video or audio recordings for Becky to review remotely. Student interns are not yet licensed clinicians, and are unable to bill insurances.

Sessions with our counseling interns are available for a rate of $20 per session.

Meet Alli Willoughby

Seeking help can feel very overwhelming, and I’m here to help you figure out where to start.

Hi, I’m Alli! I’m a counseling intern currently working towards licensure in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I am passionate about the idea that everyone can work towards meaningful change and build a life they thoroughly enjoy. Struggling with mental health challenges can interrupt every aspect of your life, and I hope to help you navigate this journey.

I strive to create a cozy, positive environment without judgement that allows you to feel comfortable to share your story and process the difficult moments.

My approach to counseling is warm, genuine, and compassionate. Through an eclectic approach, I choose techniques that work best for the needs of each individual person.

As I continue to learn in the field, I am open to working with a wide range of clients, and am a strong ally to the LGBTQIA+ community. If this sounds like a good fit, don’t hesitate to reach out! 

If you’re interested in scheduling with Alli, don’t hesitate to reach out!
