Alison Murphy, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in Wisconsin

Hi there, I'm Alison!

If you're feeling weighed down by a difficult life transition, anxiety, or just not feeling like yourself, I'm here to support. I help teens and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves navigate difficult seasons and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with their values.

My focus

I most commonly work with adolescents and adults.

My approach

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, drawing on methods such as CBT, positive psychology, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work depending on your needs. Together, we will set goals tailored to what you're facing to help you move through this rather than be defined by it.

My communication style

My style is down to earth and conversational, built on active listening and genuine care. I aim to create a safe space where you can show up authentically.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for supporting others is what first drew me to this field. I've experienced the power of therapy in my own life and believe deeply in the healing that comes through connection. I'm honored to hold the space for others as they navigate life's complexities and all of the emotions that come along with it.

My goals for you

We'll start by setting goals that reflect what matters most to you. We'll check in regularly on what you're working on and adjust as needed, so our work stays aligned with what you are hoping to take away from therapy.

Our first session

In our first session, we will start to et to know one another and begin building trust. We will also start to explore what brings you to therapy. Come as you are!
