Alison Sarah Adler, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alison Sarah!

I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience, based in California, and hold licenses in Texas and Virginia as well. Clients are commonly surprised by how quickly they feel comfortable, and a therapeutic connection is established. Congratulations on taking a risk to improve your quality of life. Good Job!!!

My focus

I enjoy working with adults in an individual setting. With more than 20 years of experience, I've been fortunate enough to provide services to a broad spectrum of clients with a wide range of challenges.

My approach

I prefer an interactive client-centered approach utilizing eclectic modalities tailored to the uniqueness of each individual. Some people are more comfortable self-directing the session, while others prefer a more structured approach. What's MOST important is for each person to get their needs met.

My communication style

I tend to speak in a direct, earthy, and sometimes humorous way while remaining sensitive to and supportive of my clients' needs. I want my clients to feel like I'm truly invested in their well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

Like so many people, I knew what I wanted at an early age. My dream was to help people. That has never changed. I spent years putting numbers and letters in boxes and getting cussed out, knowing I was meant for other things but too fearful to take a risk. When the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of change, we change.

My goals for you

We will collaborate on establishing goals and work together to achieve them.

Our first session

To serve you well, I have to get to know you. That process will begin in our first session with a combination of questions and free discussion.
