Hi! I'm Ali, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. As a marriage and family therapist, I specialize in therapy with children, teens, women, couples, and families. I implement a hybrid approach in therapy, offering both online and in person (outdoor) sessions based on your location in CA. I am an EMDR-trained therapist and working toward becoming a certified EMDR therapist as well. If you want more information, you can head over to my (NEW!) private practice website at www.alisonpofftherapy.com! I hope to talk to you soon!
I believe that therapy is most effective when clients and therapists collaborate as a team to develop a strong therapeutic alliance. I am a firm believer in the connection between physical and mental health and enjoy assisting clients who are dedicated to achieving a balanced lifestyle!
Whether you're seeking support with managing stress, improving relationships, or personal growth, your therapy will be unique to you. If you're interested in working together, schedule a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we're the right fit for your therapy needs.
