Allison From-TappDr. Allison From-Tapp grew up in Alexandria, Louisiana where she got her start helping animals in a veterinary hospital and patients at an HIV/AIDS clinic. She found her passion for social justice, multiculturalism, and psychology while at Connecticut College where she completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Women’s Studies. She achieved her Masters and Doctoral degrees in Clinical Psychology from Spalding University. As a licensed psychologist for over 20 years, Dr. From-Tapp has worked in community mental health, private practice, and several University counseling centers. Now in her 17th year at Spalding she finds excitement in training the next generation of psychologists. She enjoys helping students (both those in therapy and those in training) through the developmental process and the growth that comes from it, as well as finding their balance and joy in life. She practices from a culturally humble, collaborative, psychodynamic approach, incorporating mindfulness, emotion, and clients’ values into her work. She is passionate about helping individuals realize their fullest potential and grow into the identity that suits them best. She maintains her own joy and balance by living mindfully in the country with her amazing psychologist husband, two teenagers at home (and two in college), and 2 dogs.

With her supervisees, she fosters a collaborative and reflective environment for supervisees to explore their clinical work, insights, and challenges.

Jennifer ChapmanGrowing up here in Louisville, I always knew I wanted to raise my family here. I returned to do just that after graduating from the University of Georgia and living in Atlanta, GA, for a number of years. As a student clinician, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of individuals guiding them on their journey to achieve their mental health goals. I see this process as a true privilege, and I am fulfilled by the challenge and reward that comes from helping my clients. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, listening to and playing music, and reading for pleasure and to continue my learning in the field of psychology.

Kathy DrzewieckiI was raised near Chicago IL, and most recently lived in Des Moines, IA before moving to Louisville to attend Spalding University where I am in my fourth year of the Psy.D program. My clinical interests include helping clients lead full, rich, and meaningful lives while navigating through life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma histories, relationship difficulties, LGBTQ+ related issues, and chronic health issues. I practice from a culturally humble, collaborative, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach and am honored to have the opportunity to work with you! In my free time, I enjoy quilting, reading, and cooking. I can also be found exploring hiking trails in and around Louisville.

Hannah GibsonMy name is Hannah Gibson (she/her), and I am a fifth year PsyD student here at Spalding University. My emphasis is in working with adults. I was raised in Georgia and received my undergraduate degree in Psychology there, and then moved to Bloomington, IN, to get my masters in community counseling, which I received in 2012. I’ve been working in the field as a therapist since then but decided to come back to school so that I could become a better counselor and help the population I am interested in most – you! I really enjoy working with the college age population. I particularly enjoy working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma histories, LGBTQ-related concerns, adjustment issues, and communication and interpersonal concerns, though I have experience working with a wide range of issues. I try to meet my clients where they are and use a somewhat different approach for each client, but I do always operate from a place of compassion. I look forward to seeing how I can help you grow!

Tracey SmithI am a clinical psychology doctoral student at Spalding University. I’m originally from Mobile, AL where I hope to return to practice therapy when I graduate. I have a Master’s of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Alabama. Before this I actually worked as a Certified Public Accountant for about 6 years, mostly doing tax returns and bookkeeping for individuals, partnerships, and businesses. What led to my recent change in career was my own time in therapy. I was helped by a psychologist and developed a passion to help others as I had been helped as a result. This passion has since grown and matured as I have completed a Master’s program and entered doctoral school. My dream is to provide individual and group therapy to first responders at all stages of their careers. I also have a passion for college students of all ages and have worked with many college students over the past two years. My therapy style includes consistent encouragement and collaborating with the client to help the client achieve their unique therapeutic goals. After all, the client is the expert of themselves. I am merely an outside observer with knowledge of human psychology.
