Alison Larkin
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist - LCSW
Are you and your partner feeling disconnected and lonely in your relationship? Are you caught up in an endless cycle of having the same arguments over and over that leave you both feeling angry, hurt and alone? Using the approach of Emotionally Focused Therapy I can help you identify the negative cycle you get stuck in and put a stop to it. Together we can heal old wounds, identify underlying wants and needs, reduce conflict and learn new strategies for communication and intimacy.
Are you struggling to cope with overwhelming feelings and stressors? Did something unexpected happen and you don’t know how to cope? Maybe you are living on autopilot, going through the motions, feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself and loved ones. When we are sad or anxious it interferes with our relationships, our careers, our parenting, our self-esteem. It erodes our intimacy and connection with our partners. If you are longing to feel better about yourself and your relationship, I am here to help.
If you are exhausted from trying this on your own, I encourage you to reach out. I provide a friendly, open space where you can relax and talk. My style is warm and curious. I believe that healing comes from connection, that laughter is good medicine. I will listen, offer feedback and evidenced-based strategies for you to try. Call or email me for a free, no-risk consultation.
