I'm Still Standing

I am Allison Chawla, I am a New York based social worker, therapist, media contributor and writer. I have been working in the healing professions for nearly two decades and am trained and licensed in both eastern and western modalities for mental health management and healing.  At a young age, I knew that I was designed and destined to support others and to act as voice for those struggling to execute their own. 
Through this series of interviews, discussions, and heartfelt conversations; I strive to bring forth insight, hope, support, stories of inspiration and recovery, and of course some occasional collective tears and laughter. 
I love working with others and especially love hearing about the lives and stories of others. I could not feel more honored to sit and talk with the wonderful individuals who are a part of this show ‘Talk To Allison’ and I am hoping that I will one day get the chance to talk to you.
