I provide Meaning Centered Therapy which is based on the belief that all problems hold potential for learning and growth. I see every person with physical, spiritual, emotional and intellectual needs. I also see each as an overcomer rather than a victim, no matter what the trauma. EMDR and Dream Work may be used, if appropriate. My approach is interpersonal and I see the therapist and client as two people working together toward a goal set by the client. I offer medication management and integrate natural supplements added to prescription medications whenever possible. I do not prescribe control drugs.

I am Board Certified in Adult Psychiatry and have been practicing since 2005. I completed my residency from Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts and my Fellowship in Addictions from the Robert Johnson Wood Foundation. In 2014, I was featured in SJ Magazine as one of New Jersey’s top psychiatrists. I have experience working with adults as well as adolescents suffering from both psychiatric diagnosis and substance use disorders and have extensive experience working in both out-patient and in-patient settings.

Dr. Alison Larson is a double boarded child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist. She attended medical school in New Jersey at the Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine. She then went on to complete her residency in general psychiatry at Temple University in Philadelphia where she was an advocate and member of the performance improvement and safety committee. Following her residency, she moved to Florida where she completed her child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the University of Florida.

Unlike most psychiatrists, I practice as a concierge psychotherapist, using light medication, when needed. I utilize cognitive, existential, and paradoxical methods to assist patients of all types to manage their issues in balanced, profound, serene, and insightful manners. The goals are to develop enhanced inner and interpersonal strengths, skills, and perspectives. These enable a more astute navigation of the ever-changing and enigmatic terrains of life. After all, life comes only in packages of dilemma and compromise, … and there’s always a cost.

I work with adventurous women who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma specializing in maternal, perinatal, birth trauma, life transitions, empty nesting and so much more. Together we explore the connection between the things you’ve experienced and how it’s affecting you now. To understand yourself better, are less irritable, more relaxed, and have deeper relationships with your kiddos, partners, and friends. We explore boundaries and you begin to say Yes and No with greater confidence, making choices that create balance in your life.

I am double board-certified in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. I believe in using both medication when indicated as well as therapy. I was trained in CBT and was given the Excellence in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during my residency program. I use supportive therapy with each client I see. During my residency I served as Chief Resident and was awarded the Overall Excellence in Psychiatry Award as well as the Clinical Excellence Award.
