Dr. Aosved began her professional journey in a non-profit setting focused on ending gender-based violence and supporting survivors of sexual violence. She went on to work with diverse Veterans for twenty years in her public service career with the Department of Veterans Affairs, first as a pre-licensed therapist and later as a licensed psychologist. There, she served in a variety of settings and roles, all focused on providing PTSD specialty care, addressing health disparities for underserved Veterans, and providing supervision, consultation, and training to colleagues (licensed and pre-licensed). Dr. Aosved is licensed in Hawaii and Illinois. She is board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Psychology. She has specialized training in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy implementation, supervision, and training. She has been providing telehealth since 2009. Dr. Aosved has published in peer reviewed journals and presented routinely at national and international conferences. Dr. Aosved's most rewarding endeavors have centered on PE training, consultation, implementation, and developing and sustaining a virtual accelerated PE clinic.

Living with PTSD can feel overwhelming, like the joy has been drained from life, and the memories of past trauma(s) keep you trapped in a cycle of survival and avoidance. Your world may feel very small. There is hope, PTSD is a treatable condition, and healing is possible. With the right support and treatment, you can reclaim your life, rediscover joy, and step back into a world full of possibilities. Recovery is a journey, but you don’t have to walk it alone. I'm Dr. Allison Aosved and I specialize in supporting clients to heal from trauma and related PTSD. I provide brief, evidence based, individually tailored, and culturally responsive therapy using the most effective treatment for processing emotions related to trauma: Prolonged Exposure (PE).
