Occupational Therapist
My name is Allison Miller. I am a 2002 graduate of Duquesne University with a Master's in Occupational Therapy.
During my career I have enjoyed working with a variety of populations! I have worked in the mental health field with adults at Mayview State Hospital and at the Project Employ program at Bethlehem Haven.
Most recently I have been working with K-12 students in the school districts. I am so excited to come to the DOVE program to combine my two passions of working with children and teenagers and working in mental health! I enjoy running groups and working one on one with the participants to help them meet their goals!
In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my husband and two teenage sons. I enjoy cooking, hiking, and reading!
I look forward to being part of the DOVE program!
Facilitator
Facilitator
I am a 30 year old mother of 2 beautiful children. I grew up in Allegheny county in the system. I was in and out of group homes, foster homes, and shelters. Dealing with the cards I was dealt I always knew I wanted to help the youth with the same kinds of struggles as me. Here at D.O.V.E., I can serve my community by being that person I always needed. Being here gives me a purpose, and I’m looking forward to all the great opportunities that are coming my way!

My name is Lamont Christopher Crockett, but I go by Chris. I was trained by TRAILS in 2018, and am currently a van driver for their D.O.V.E. Program. I’m a retired professional barber originally from Brooklyn, New York. I work at here because I enjoy helping people and there’s always something new to learn. In my free time, I love playing and studying chess. I look forward to teaching the participants at D.O.V.E. the fundamentals of the game.
