Allison Portillo is a Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at MENDING SOULS. She is proficient in English. Colleagues describe her as "As a fellow Title X Health Educator at CCHC, I had the pleasure of working alongside Allison for most of my days. Working with Allison is what you imagine when you hear the word “teamwork”; she comes to meetings prepared with ideas for projects and loves to collaborate in the fusion of ideas discussed by the team. She is creative in the development of health education presentations such as STDs, Body Positivity, and Skills for Healthy Relationships. Furthermore, Allison clearly models the Health Education Code of Ethics. Allison takes her responsibility in providing health education very seriously, by preparing for each encounter with CCHC’s community members. Also, she does not shy away from opportunities to develop her professional skills, so much so that she was a crucial member in the implementation of our pilot program for in-clinic patient health counseling. In this role, Allison worked closely with practitioners, clinic leads and medical assistants. You’re going to do great things for the community, Allison. Thank you for being such an amazing teammate!
