Getting to know Alison Pugh

Many of the adults and older adults supported in this space are balancing a lot. Career demands, family responsibilities, caregiving roles, or major transitions that quietly shift everything. On the outside, things may look steady. Inside, there may be questions, fatigue, or a sense of feeling untethered. Therapy here is a place to pause, breathe, and begin making sense of what comes next. This work is calm, thoughtful, and collaborative. There is no pressure to perform or to have the right answers.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions focus on slowing things down, understanding what is happening emotionally and internally, and finding clarity during times of change. Together, the goal is to build practical tools that help life feel more manageable and aligned again. The approach is warm, respectful, and grounded in evidence-based care.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Most importantly, you get to show up as you are. You do not need to have everything figured out. You do not need to minimize what you are carrying. This is a space where your story matters and where the next chapter can begin with intention, compassion, and support. If you are looking for therapy that feels thoughtful and genuine, you're in the right place.

  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork

More information on payments and coverage

I accept several major insurance plans, though coverage varies by provider and location. Before your first appointment, we will work to verify your benefits so you have a clear understanding of coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about insurance, payment options, or scheduling, I encourage you to reach out. I’m happy to help you understand your options and see if we would be a good fit to work together.
