Allison Bernardo
Pre-Licensed Professional, Resident in Counseling
As a LGBTQ+, first-generation Filipina woman, I know how meaningful it is to feel understood and accepted without having to explain every part of your identity. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you’re healing from difficult family relationships, navigating grief, exploring your identity, working through relationship concerns, or processing life’s unexpected challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. My hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can be honest, feel supported, and leave each session with a greater understanding of yourself and the confidence to move toward the life you want.

Online in Chesapeake, VA Virginia
Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
