John Frisbie

I believe I was called to help people find freedom and healing to live free. I don’t want my clients, my staff, or my colleagues to focus on me, I am one servant of others among many.

Lori McAllister

Sometimes it's not getting out of the rain but embracing it and learning our to enjoy the changes and manage the consequences. We all have times in our lives when we could use someone to listen and not judge.

Rick Fagan

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, ages 13-adult. I specialize in anxiety and depression-related struggles, behavior management in teens, and with those experiencing relationship distress.

Laurie Baltz

If you’re dealing with stress, struggling with fears, or facing depression, my hope is to provide a safe place to talk, support for difficult struggles, help in sorting out distorted thinking, and accepting what you cannot change.

Our Story

John Frisbie started Alliance Counseling Services to do therapy a bit differently. Our name, Alliance, implies several things. We develop dynamic partnerships with our clients that encourage, support, and enhance lasting change. We make change possible by using evidence-based, effective strategies in therapy. Partnership and best practices are not strictly unique; however, our counselors practice this approach to therapeutically sound relationships among ourselves! Every aspect of Alliance: our business practices, all client relations, and every counselor collaboration, is directed specifically to foster sound thinking, healthy living, and uplifted spirits. We strive to live the way we hope everyone will live – deliberately at peace inside and out.
