Therapy for Mood & Anxiety

When treating mood disorders like depression and anxiety, Alison Franklin, LCSW aims to reduce symptoms while encouraging clients to be curious about what those symptoms may be signaling. Alison’s approach emphasizes self-discovery and personal growth over symptom management alone.

Aware of the popularity of happiness “hacks,” Alison often includes simple, science-based strategies that can improve mood and help build positive habits. These interventions are a good supplement for deeper exploration that gradually nurtures a more integrated, resilient, whole person.

At the center of Alison’s integrative approach is the therapeutic relationship: a collaborative and caring partnership grounded in safety and trust. Research consistently shows this connection to be one of the most powerful agents of change in therapy.
