Allison Weyward, LMSW
Licensed Master Social Worker (Provisional) | Therapist, WellBeing Sanctuary
Are you feeling overwhelmed, defeated, or unsure how to untangle everything going on in your life right now? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Allison is a provisionally licensed, fat, and queer LMSW offering compassionate, non-judgmental care for individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, C-/PTSD, negative self-image, identity exploration, and family dynamics.
With over seven years of experience working with neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQIA2S+ youth and adults, children and families, and diverse cultural communities, Allison creates a therapeutic space that fosters genuine safety, exploration, healing — and even a little laughter.
Body Liberation & Size-Inclusive Care
Allison brings a dedicated body liberation lens to her therapeutic work, creating a space that is fully size-inclusive and free from weight stigma. She supports clients in building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies — challenging harmful cultural narratives around weight, appearance, and worth, and reclaiming body autonomy and self-acceptance as integral parts of the healing journey.
