Allison Hurwitz

When it comes to therapy, I truly believe that one size does not fit all. I incorporate a variety of treatment approaches that are tailored to each client's unique needs and experiences. We work collaboratively towards goals that best reflect your personality, strengths and challenges. I use a strengths-based approach to help my clients identify and build upon existing strengths and resources in order to cope with challenges and make positive changes. Outcomes have included: better insight, more confidence, a stronger sense of self, improvements in mood and the ability to regulate one’s emotions, an increased ability to manage stress, more satisfying relationships and a greater sense of well-being.

Research has shown a strong therapeutic relationship to be the foundation of successful therapy. I strive to provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel both seen and heard. I
have particular expertise in helping clients to navigate life with chronic illness, from adjusting to a new diagnosis to grieving losses to caring for a loved one.

I have been working with children, adolescents and adults for over 25 years in a variety of settings. Having graduate degrees and experience in Art Therapy as well as Social Work expands the range of services and tools that I am able to offer. Art therapy provides a safer way to express thoughts and feelings that may seem too difficult to put into words. I look forward to working with you.
