Allison Duquette, MS, LAC, entered into a career as a therapist after 13 years in aviation, having a clear understanding that her passion lies with individuals diagnosed with HIV, due to some close, personal connections. Through her work with individuals diagnosed with HIV, she has gained extensive knowledge in Substance Use Disorder treatment, Complex Trauma, and Shame-Resiliency and has interwoven her personal experience in aviation into practice working with Aviation Professionals. She has volunteered within and continues to be an active member of and fierce advocate for the LGBTQ community. She is in a joyful, committed, though not always perfect partnership with a Pilot for 14 years. She is a strong believer and promoter for mental health care becoming preventative instead of punitive for Aviators. Other personal, non-work-related interests include Pixar movies, her Dachshund Klaus, and foodie adventures around the world.
