Dr. Alison Gurley, PsyD

Psychologist
185 Devonshire St, Suite 902, Boston, MA
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and I completed my doctoral training at William James College in Newton, MA. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with diverse clients seeking relief from a wide range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship and identity issues. I know that for many people, these symptoms keep them from connecting with important aspects of their lives. In therapy we will work together to help you re-engage with what matters most. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ and gender diverse individuals, and provide training on these topics at the local and national level. While I enjoy working with individuals from across the lifespan, I have particular specialization in working with young adults, ages 18 to 35 years old. Prior to working in private practice, I taught on the faculty of a family medicine residency, where I saw clients for issues related to trauma, chronic illness, and insomnia.

Getting to know Dr. Alison Gurley

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and I completed my doctoral training at William James College in Newton, MA. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with diverse clients seeking relief from a wide range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship and identity issues. I know that for many people, these symptoms keep them from connecting with important aspects of their lives. In therapy we will work together to help you re-engage with what matters most. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ and gender diverse individuals, and provide training on these topics at the local and national level. While I enjoy working with individuals from across the lifespan, I have particular specialization in working with young adults, ages 18 to 35 years old. Prior to working in private practice, I taught on the faculty of a family medicine residency, where I saw clients for issues related to trauma, chronic illness, and insomnia.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Practicing from a multicultural lens, I integrate evidence-based treatments, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindful Self-Compassion to tailor plans for each client. I work collaboratively with individuals to help align their lives with their values, and to not get consumed by thoughts and behaviors that are not working for them.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, in which I determine with clients the goals of our work together. The first session is often a time to gather information, learn about you, what is bringing you to therapy, and identify what changes would make a significant impact on your quality of life. Future sessions focus on how to move towards our agreed upon goals. Sometimes this involves more structured therapeutic protocols, while at other times sessions are more free flowing, though always focused on achieving therapeutic outcomes. The level of structure is determined both by client preference, and the kinds of goals we outline together.
