Hi, I’m Dr. Alison Dotti, a licensed psychologist who works with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have been practicing for 8 years and love being a part of my client's journey towards creating the life they want to live. I support clients who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, family communication concerns, motivation difficulties, neurodiversity, or questions related to identity and belonging.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, or trying to manage things like ADHD, PMDD, or hormone-related changes, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I know how much life can demand—balancing work, relationships, family, and everything in between can leave very little space to actually slow down and check in with yourself.

I work with adults and couples, and I really value creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and easy to show up in. My style is laid-back and genuine, and I care a lot about building a strong, collaborative connection so therapy feels helpful—not intimidating.
