Alison Solomon

I offer a safe, non-judgmental place to explore the present and/or past so you overcome obstacles and live your best life.

Do you feel as if you're not living life the way you want to? That there are external barriers -- such as prejudice and bias, relational barriers--such as spouse/family/colleagues, or internal barriers such as fear, stress, addiction, or past trauma -- that prevent you from being who you want to be? Together we can explore all of this so that you can figure out how to change long-held beliefs or patterns of behavior. I strongly believe in providing down-to-earth, practical counseling as well as in-depth psychotherapy, with the aim of helping you become the person you were meant to be.

I have special interest and expertise in the following:

• Relationship Issues
• Self Esteem
• Trauma
• LGBTQ Issues
• Stress Management
• Life Transitions
• Grief and Loss
• ​Depression and Anxiety
• Aging and Caregiving Issues

Many people are hesitant to reach out and get therapy, and for good reason. They may have had negative experiences with previous counseling, or they may think counseling can't help, or is too expensive. I encourage you to ask questions to ensure you feel comfortable with me. The therapy journey can sometimes take time, so you want to be sure the person accompanying you understands your needs, listens to you and is a good match for you.

I hope that by working with me, you'll have a better understanding of who you are and how how you function in the world. I'll help you sort through problems and figure out how to make connections, change old patterns and behaviors, or heal from past (and present) trauma.
