Born and raised in Winter Haven, Polk County, Dr. Allison's journey into psychology began during his time at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

His practice encompasses general therapy, psychological and neuropsychological assessments, community healthcare, and crisis intervention. Notably, he has extensive experience working with sex offenders and victims of sexual abuse, demonstrating his ability to address complex and sensitive psychological issues.
