Getting to know Alison Pugh

I’m a Clinical Social Worker, veteran, and working mom. I help adults who are juggling work, family, caregiving, or major life changes that feel heavier than they look on the surface. If you’re feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, you’re in the right place. My focus You might be navigating a major life transition, caregiving stress, shifting roles in work or family, burnout or emotional exhaustion, high-functioning adult, feeling “fine” on the outside but overwhelmed inside, and trauma. If any of this resonates, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to sort through it by yourself. My approach My style is calm, collaborative, and steady. We slow things down, explore what’s happening, and build realistic tools to help you feel more like yourself. I draw from evidence‑based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, life‑review work, and strengths‑based reflection, always at a pace that feels manageable for you. My communication style I pay attention to your thoughts, yes — but also your values, relationships, and lived experiences. And I always move at a pace that feels manageable for you. My goals for you Most of all, you get to show up exactly as you are. You don’t have to minimize what you’re carrying or have everything figured out. This is a space where your story matters and where you can move forward with clarity, compassion, and support. Our first session During our first session, we'll get to know each other to ensure you feel comfortable while discussing the changes you'd like to make in your life.
