Allison Torsiglieri

I am a psychotherapist-in-training dedicated to creating a brave, collaborative space for clients to explore their strengths and build resilience. I take a trauma-informed, humanistic approach to therapy, helping clients make sense of their experiences on their own terms. Depending on individual clients’ preferences and needs, I also draw from evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
​
My background in public health provides me with a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection, and for the way our social and cultural contexts shape our unique stories. I have experience in the homeless services field supporting adults, young adults, and teenagers to navigate challenges related to life transitions, anxiety, and trauma. I conduct therapy in a way that is nonjudgmental and meets clients where they are.

I am in my final year of the Master of Science in Social Work program at Columbia University. I believe each of us is the expert on our own lives, and will strive to embody warmth, cultural humility, and a readiness to learn as your therapist.
