What makes Allison Cornell with Firefly Counseling and Consulting PLLC a good neighbor?

Ever wondered what it means to truly heal from your darkest moments? Allison Cornell, founder of Firefly Counseling and Consulting PLLC, illuminates the path forward in this intimate conversation about mental health, misconceptions, and meaningful transformation.

After spending 15 years as a school counselor, Allison felt called to create a space where people could safely process trauma, life transitions, and emotional pain without judgment. That calling led to the founding of Firefly Counseling and Consulting in January 2022—a trauma-informed mental health practice dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through healing, resilience, and growth.

Specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Firefly provides compassionate, client-centered therapy tailored to the needs of those navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. The practice fosters a safe, inclusive environment where clients are guided through evidence-based interventions that support emotional well-being and long-term change.

As Allison beautifully puts it, “When you heat up something, it burns off all the imperfections and things that don't need to remain, so that then we can fly and be free to be who we were created to be.” That philosophy underpins everything Firefly does—from EMDR intensives and couples packages to their collaborative work with functional medicine doctors and psychiatrists.

In addition to serving clients, Firefly also offers professional development, supervision, and EMDR consultation for fellow clinicians who want to deepen their expertise in trauma treatment. With locations in Flower Mound and Waco, the practice is committed to cultural responsiveness, clinical excellence, and the belief that with the right support, healing isn’t just possible—it’s transformative.

Whether you’re a first responder, teacher, business professional, or simply someone ready for change, Firefly offers a free 15-minute consultation to help match you with the right clinician.
