Allie Ordziejewski
MA Candidate Valparaiso University
BS Purdue University Northwest
Allie graduated from Purdue Northwest with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology in 2019 and is currently pursuing her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Valparaiso University. Allie held a Registered Behavioral Technician credential while working in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis for three years. During this time, working with children with Autism shaped her concept of how people learn on a daily basis. Her previous internship experience was at an addictions facility, specifically for working professional and licensed adults, where a big focus was on trauma and attachment. Through her broad-range of experiences, she is finding she aligns with a combination of emotion-focused and behavioral approaches while also finding value within psychodynamic thinking and the role that underlying feelings and thoughts play into our daily interactions with others. Allie will be graduating in July of 2021 and is interested in working with children, adolescents, and adults.
