Alison sees clients in person on the Upper West Side and virtually. Her office is located at 117 West 72nd Street on the 3rd floor.

Most clients engage in therapy on a weekly or biweekly basis. As the work progresses, Alison will periodically reassess and adjust the frequency as needed.

Sessions are 45-50 minutes long.

Alison is licensed in New York.

Alison works with individual adults and couples in the following areas:

• Mood & Anxiety Disorders

• Couples Therapy

• Adult ADHD

Alison is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These modalities allow her to tailor her approach to each individual, combining structure and skills with insight-oriented therapy.

Integrative therapy incorporates multiple schools of psychotherapy into one approach. Other therapies are typically based on a single model which can be limiting, as not every approach resonates with every client. As an integrative therapist, Alison has the flexibility to tailor the therapy to an individual, not the other way around. Integrative therapy values the relationship between a client and therapist and sees it as another avenue for growth.

The concept of Inner Healing Intelligence is foundational to Alison’s work. It has origins in the emerging field of psychedelics. Similar to how the body intuitively knows how to heal a wound, every human being has a capacity or “intelligence” for healing itself.

This idea is applicable beyond the world of psychedelics and is consistent with other frameworks: the true self in Buddhism, the core self in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and wise mind in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). In many schools of thought, there is a principle that deep within the psyche, we are innately driven toward healing and wholeness.

No, Alison is an out-of-network provider. To find out if you’re eligible for reimbursement, she advises prospective clients to contact their insurance company to verify if they have an out-of-network benefit. If so, her monthly statement includes the required billing and diagnosis codes clients can submit for reimbursement.

Individual sessions are $325 for 45–50 minutes and couples sessions are $350 for 60 minutes. Alison offers a reduced rate for a portion of her practice. Availability for these sessions is limited and determined on a case-by-case basis.

All sessions are self-pay, as Alison is an out-of-network provider. A monthly statement (superbill) can be provided for clients who wish to submit for reimbursement.

Payments can be made through Venmo, Zelle, and Chase QuickPay.

Yes. Alison considers coordinating care integral to working responsibly and effectively. She is regularly in touch with other treatment providers including prescribers.

Alison asks that clients give at least 24 hours notice if they have to cancel or reschedule their appointment to avoid a full fee charge. This allows her an opportunity to offer the time slot to another person.

It’s not unusual for Alison to recommend a podcast or article if it’s relevant to a session. For self-improvement, she often refers clients to Rich Roll and 10% Happier with Dan Harris. For those coping with grief, All There Is with Anderson Cooper will resonate. For entertainment, Alison enjoys The Deep Dive and Good Hang.
