Allyson Kuhn

I am a licensed mental health counselor and crisis services manager focused on suicide prevention, evidence-based care, and workforce development. I combine clinical expertise with operational leadership to improve access and outcomes.

In my current role managing the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, I design and implement training curricula, improve onboarding efficiency, and raised call quality scores by 20%. I develop and maintain quality assurance protocols, policies, and compliance processes to ensure audit readiness.

As a practicing counselor I provided weekly in-person and telehealth care to an active caseload, implemented individualized treatment plans that produced a 20% improvement in client outcomes, and reduced documentation errors through disciplined EHR practices. I completed supervised practice hours toward licensure and now hold full licensure in clinical mental health counseling.

I have led federally funded projects, supervised crisis teams, tracked service outcomes with Excel, Genesys, and SAMHSA tools, and volunteered as a crisis counselor for over 200 hours. I seek roles where I can scale preventative services, strengthen clinical teams, and build training that improves care for high-risk populations.
