Our Founder: Allison Basham, LPC, CAI, SEP, CPCS
Recovery Inside Out was founded by Allison Basham, a licensed professional counselor and certified interventionist with over 20 years of experience. Allison’s vision for Recovery Inside Out stems from her personal and professional journey. Having achieved long-term sobriety at the age of 22, Allison understands the challenges of recovery on a deeply personal level. Her commitment to healing goes beyond sobriety, focusing on addressing trauma, family dynamics, and creating lasting change.
In Allison’s words: “Recovery Inside Out is a place for folks who have been impacted by addictions, substance use, mental health, and trauma—a place where individuals and families can find clarity, connection, and a path to change. We work comprehensively, looking at not just the person but the family system as a whole. True healing starts from within and radiates outward, creating a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come”.
“Our mission at Recovery Inside Out is to provide the resources and support needed for all who are impacted by addictions, substance use, mental health, and trauma. We strive to be a place of healing for individuals and families, helping them create meaningful and lasting change.”
Allison’s own recovery journey was instrumental in the creation of Recovery Inside Out. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to stop using and change certain behaviors, Allison achieved sobriety in 2002. However, even with a new life in sobriety, there were lingering behaviors and unresolved traumas that required deeper healing. Determined to create lasting change, Allison embarked on a journey of therapeutic exploration, immersing herself in psychodrama therapy and other intensive therapeutic trauma modalities. Through these experiences, healing began to happen slowly but profoundly—from the inside out.
Over the next several years, Allison became a certified psychodrama facilitator and Somatic Experience Practitioner. She discovered the transformative power of these therapies, which focus on creating shifts within the individual’s system rather than relying solely on talk-based approaches. These methods inspired the creation of Recovery Inside Out, a practice dedicated to helping others stop suffering and achieve true healing.
Our Approach to Healing
At Recovery Inside Out, we believe healing is a holistic process. It involves the individual and their entire support system. Trauma, whether from personal experiences or as a family member impacted by another’s struggles, creates dysregulation in the nervous system. By addressing these issues comprehensively, we aim to create a safe space for vulnerability, connection, and meaningful growth.
Research shows the most change happens through the therapeutic relationship. That’s why we prioritize building authentic, trusting connections between clients and our team of skilled therapists, interventionists, and care management specialists. Our staff, all of whom are in long-term recovery themselves or who have been impacted by addiction, mental health or trauma, bring a wealth of professional expertise and lived experience to their work.
