Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New York

About My Clients

I find I do my best work with youth and millennial adults who struggle with childhood and complex trauma, post-traumatic stress, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, self-worth, relational trauma, anxiety and depression. Childhood abuse and neglect have long-lasting effects on how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we regulate our emotions. I hope to utilize the therapy space as a way to help you build empathy and understanding for yourself, build insight into long-term relation

My Background and Approach

Hi, I’m Allie. I’m a licensed mental health counselor with over 7 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to all age ranges. I’ve been on both sides of the couch and know how truly important the therapeutic relationship is. I show up every day as my authentic self and work to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and accepting space. I work from a client-centered approach that is trauma-informed, queer positive and anti-oppressive. I acknowledge the effect psychological oppression and systematic injustice have on my client’s mental health and well-being. Therapy isn’t one size fits all and looks different for everyone based on their own unique experiences and specific needs. You are the expert in your own life and I allow the therapy space to grow and change along with you. In my work I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches such as DBT, CBT, Mindfulness, Attachment and Relational Therapy.
