“Our sessions are more like two friends catching up instead of a therapy session. And in that "catching up", there is a lot of processing that she helps me with. I really appreciate her and our "catching up".”

Getting to know Alison Adler
Welcome! I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience based in California, holding licenses in Texas and Virginia as well Clients are often surprised by how quickly they feel comfortable and a therapeutic connection is established Congratulations on taking a risk to improve your quality of life Good job!!! CA LMFT44867 CA LPC405 TX LMFT 205288 VA LMFT 0717001514 I earned my Master’s in Psychology from California State University, Dominguez Hills, which laid the foundation for my career in mental healthcare My approach I prefer an interactive, client-centered approach using eclectic modalities tailored to each individual Some people are more comfortable self-directing the session, while others prefer a structured approach What’s MOST important is for each person to get their needs met It’s not unusual for our journey to reveal areas never considered when initially seeking therapy My focus I enjoy working with adults individually With over 20 years of experience, I’ve provided services to a broad spectrum of clients facing a wide range of challenges (see specialties section) My communication style I tend to speak in a direct, earthy, and sometimes humorous way while remaining sensitive and supportive of my clients’ needs I want my clients to feel I’m truly invested in their well-being My journey to mental healthcare Like many, I knew what I wanted early At 5, my dream was to help people That never changed I began working at 12 and by my early 20s, I worked for the City of Los Angeles as a Traffic Officer (aka Meter Maid) to establish independence I spent years putting numbers and letters in boxes and getting cussed out All the while, I knew I was meant for other things but was too fearful to take a risk I would drive around in my City vehicle fantasizing about how to make my dream come true and fulfill my life’s purpose When the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of change, we change.

Alison has helped me so much with my mental health. She is one-of-a-kind, extremely understanding, and always makes me feel heard and seen. She is the only therapist I have ever felt comfortable enough sharing everything with. She is truly incredible at what she does and has made a tremendous difference in my life.
