Theresa Allocca

Theresa L. Allocca, MA, CAS, LPC (Ret.), is a retired school counselor and licensed professional counselor with over 23 years of experience walking alongside children and families through some of life's most difficult challenges. Raised in a small town, she brings both clinical expertise and a deeply personal lens to the stories she tells. Theresa lives in Poland Spring, Maine. Like her main character, she finds her best thinking on a long bike tour, needle in hand, or out on the water in a kayak.

Circle of Friends is her debut novel.
