Therapist with Alopecia Areata

Hello! My name is Alison and you might notice, I don’t have any hair. I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata at age 3. Since age 6, I have been completely bald.

My experience with Alopecia largely inspired my career as a therapist because I noticed I could not find a professional who looked like me. There was also a lack of resources beyond therapy to support the Alopecia community with the emotional impacts of hair loss. My goal ever since has been to create a range of support resources to help those with hair loss receive well-rounded care.

I also provide psychotherapy services for those located in New York who are struggling with body image, anxiety or anyone who has ever felt different.

    Ali did a fantastic job both validating the realities of living with alopecia in a hair-obsessed world and urging me to consider a different reality for myself. She never made me feel over-dramatic, but always managed to get me to consider a different and better world for myself. I plan to remember that alopecia isn’t something I need to change or apologize for. It’s a part of me that I can love but it doesn’t have to be all of me. I can now live proudly in a society that doesn’t understand Alopecia

    Prior to coaching with Alison I had self-esteem struggles and I noticed I gained more self love for myself as a result of our work. The most impactful part of my work with Alison was the exercises/activities that had me critically thinking about myself re-wiring thought patterns. Alison took me on a journey to help connect with my inner self. I discovered new things about myself and re-discovered parts of myself I locked away. I plan to carry the tools and guide I learned from her program with me and apply it as needed in my life.
