Meet Alison
Alison Mann, LMSW
Hi, I’m Ali and I’m a licensed psychotherapist.
I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who are navigating issues with, but not limited to, anxiety/OCD, body image, eating disorders, athletic pressures, chronic illness/pain, ADD/ADHD and body focused repetitive behaviors. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for us to work together and explore how your life experiences may have led you to feel unable to reach your full potential.
My approach balances having space for reflective growth while also identifying concrete skills and coping tools tailored to your unique goals. I use an integrative approach that draws from numerous modalities such as CBT, DBT, ERP, psychodynamic and mindfulness. I also have training in Mirror Exposure Therapy and CBT-E.
I am passionate about changing/educating about the larger societal messages & beauty standards that make it so much harder for people to live their best life. I firmly believe that we must celebrate diversity of all kinds & that attractiveness comes from our differences rather than the stereotypical narrative and images we’ve been sold.
I look forward to providing the safe space needed to help you and your children thrive.
Ali holds a Master of Social Work from New York University.
