Come as you are. Move at your pace. Find your way forward.

An integrative approach to therapy that helps you reconnect with yourself and navigate life’s changes with more clarity.

You can feel more like yourself again

Something in your life may not feel the way it used to.

A relationship feels more complicated. A transition you thought you were ready for leaves you feeling uncertain. You might find yourself overthinking, feeling disconnected, or carrying a quiet tension you can’t quite name, even when everything looks “fine” from the outside.

There’s a reason for what you’re feeling, even if it’s not clear yet. Therapy can help you slow down, understand what’s underneath it, and begin to move forward in a way that feels more grounded and aligned with who you are.

Services

Support for what you’re going through

Depression

Everything feels heavier than it should. You may feel disconnected, unmotivated, or like you’re just going through the motions. Even things you used to enjoy don’t feel the same. Therapy can help you start reconnecting with yourself and your sense of direction.

Anxiety

Your mind doesn’t slow down. You replay conversations, second guess yourself, and carry a constant sense of pressure, even when nothing is technically wrong. It’s exhausting. Together, we help you understand what’s driving it and begin to feel more grounded and at ease.

Life transitions

Something in your life has shifted, and you don’t quite feel like yourself anymore. Whether it’s a new chapter, a loss, or a change you didn’t expect, it can leave you feeling unsettled. We’ll help you make sense of what’s happening and find your footing again.

Modalities

A thoughtful, tailored approach to therapy

There isn’t a single way to approach therapy, because no two people experience things the same way.

We take an integrative approach, drawing from different methods based on what you need. Some sessions may focus on understanding patterns through conversation, while others may help you tune into what you’re feeling in your body or work through relationship dynamics in a more structured way. The process is always shaped around you.

Somatic therapy

Focuses on what you’re feeling in your body, helping you process stress, anxiety, and past experiences on a deeper level.

Gottman method

A structured approach for couples that helps you understand patterns, improve communication, and rebuild connection.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

Helps you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns so you can respond to situations in a more balanced way.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

Builds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and feeling more steady in everyday life.

Trauma-focused therapy

Supports you in processing past experiences in a way that feels safe, helping reduce their impact on your present life.

Relational and identity-affirming therapy

Creates space to explore your experiences within the context of relationships, identity, and the systems that shape them.

Who we are

A more grounded way to approach therapy

At Awakenly Therapy, we believe that meaningful change starts with understanding yourself more fully.

Our work is grounded in the idea that therapy isn’t just about solving a problem. It’s about helping you become more aware of what you’re feeling, how you relate to others, and what you need in order to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

As a team, we bring different perspectives and areas of focus, but share a commitment to thoughtful, integrative care. We meet you where you are and tailor the process to fit your needs, whether you’re working through something specific or trying to make sense of a broader shift in your life.

“Extremely kind, thoughtful, and caring. Not only is she a great listener, but she provides incredible insight, knowledge and support for whatever I am currently experiencing. I know she genuinely cares about how I am doing. She has helped to guide me as I continue to grow and learn about the human I am striving to become. I feel very lucky and blessed to have her as my therapist.”

“Allison has changed my understanding of what talk therapy can do. My partner and I reached out to Allison as a final attempt to save our relationship; years of previous individual and couples therapy had failed to resolve our issues. Almost immediately, Allison’s caring yet direct guidance helped us address our concerns in tangible and lasting ways. As trans, non-binary clients of color, we were initially worried that she would not be able to understand our many complex histories and dynamics, but Allison is able to navigate experiences outside of her own with compassion and confidence. Her thoughtful and clear observations, re-framings, and suggestions have challenged us both to face our own “shortcomings” and to grow as individuals and as a couple. Her expertise in and passion for the work is obvious.”

“Allison has helped me navigate complex parts of my anxiety and growth journey. I feel comfortable opening up and practicing better habits. Would recommend her practice.”

“Allison created a safe and welcoming environment from our first session. She's a thoughtful listener and an incredibly kind, intelligent, practical, and compassionate therapist.”

“Allison is insightful and productive. She's been able to effectively challenge beliefs/behaviors I've been trying to understand and deconstruct for a while (where other therapists I've seen in the past have not). Every session brings new revelations. I'm extremely glad I found her.”

“Allison does virtual visits and is an amazing therapist. Having her for a while is great as she has a deep understanding of her patients, and allows them to guide their therapeutic journey. LGBTQ friendly and on the younger side, she’s a great choice for any young adult who needs therapy”

“I've been working with Sophie for over a year now, and she has been incredibly supportive and insightful. She creates a safe and comfortable space to work through challenges, and her guidance has made a meaningful difference in my life. Highly recommend.”

“My partner and I have been going to couple’s therapy for a little over a year and we’ve done so much work in so little time. Sophie is extremely perceptive and will definitely guide you through doing the work. We’ve been able to break a lot of bad patterns and have better conversations as well as conflict resolution.”

“Sophie is great - she is always calm and provides a different perspective on issues that I am dealing with, along with coping mechanisms of how to better tackle problems in the future. Could not recommend her enough.”

“Great experiences with this practice all around. Easy and convenient. I especially love my therapist, Sophie, who is beyond understanding and insightful. She always makes me feel heard and seen.”

— AS “Sophie has been nothing short of amazing, I cannot speak highly enough of her clinical expertise! She is attentive, nonjudgmental and has a very welcoming presence.”
