Great to meet you!

Allyson is a board certified LCSW in New Jersey. She has practiced for over 20 years in a variety of agency settings, but primarily in a private psychotherapy practice where most of her work has been with individuals in late adolescence through adulthood addressing varying mood disorders, adjustment disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, family issues, and substance abuse issues that affect interpersonal relationships, work or employment, and goal setting.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Allyson's approach is eclectic, drawing off of many treatment approaches. Being classically trained in psychodynamic theories and approaches, her style has come to incorporate additional treatment approaches such as insight oriented therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based practices, and EMDR.
