From Forensic Psychology to Healing Hearts: Allyson Luna’s Journey to Counseling

Some paths are straight. Others twist, turn, and lead you to where you were always meant to be. For Allyson Luna, the founder of Luna Counseling Solutions, the journey to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor was anything but linear.

Allyson didn’t grow up dreaming of being a therapist. In fact, she never even considered it. But she always had an innate curiosity about the human mind. As a child, she loved “deep talks” with her cousins, and she found herself lying in bed at night replaying the day, wondering about the whys and hows behind people’s actions and emotions.

That curiosity followed her into college, where she majored in forensic psychology. Captivated by crime documentaries and the complexities of criminal behavior, she wanted to understand what shaped a person’s choices—especially the dark and difficult ones. What makes someone cross the line into criminality? How does a childhood experience ripple into adulthood?

Yet, as fascinating as the world of criminal psychology was, Allyson realized her true passion lay elsewhere: helping everyday people navigate the complexities of their own lives.

Today, through Luna Counseling Solutions, Allyson serves teenagers, adults, and couples, offering a space to:

• Take control of thoughts and emotions
• Improve relationships and communication
• Work through challenges to find real solutions
• Most importantly, gain inner peace

Her approach is warm, thoughtful, and rooted in her lifelong curiosity about what makes people feel, think, and grow. Allyson knows that life’s challenges can feel isolating—but with the right support, healing and clarity are within reach.

If you’re ready to move through a tough season with compassion and understanding, Luna Counseling Solutions may be the safe space you’ve been looking for.
