Aly Dearborn
Feminist, Polyvagal-Guided Psychotherapist for Women -
Aly Dearborn, MA, LMFT, CSAT – Licensed in California (#45462) and Oregon (#T2025).
I am a feminist and polyvagal-guided psychotherapist with twenty years of post-masters clinical experience supporting young people and adults navigate relational trauma, chronic dysregulation, and addiction recovery.
I utilize a variety of psychological theories, trauma-informed interventions, psychoeducation, and other tools in my practice and truly enjoy collaborating with clients about treatment options and offering choices about approaches to take toward achieving their specific goals.
I currently offer online individual and group therapy, coaching, and consultation services for women. I have particular interests in working with women who are:
1) open to a feminist analysis; 2) therapists/counselors in grad school, early training, or clinical practice; 3) lesbian/bisexual; 4) in recovery, 5) navigating midlife transitions/perimenopause, and/or 6) interested in neuro-inclusive care
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals, I specialize in helping women break free from painful, repetitive relationship patterns, addictive behaviors, negative self-concepts and other impacts of early attachment and/or relational abuse experiences. I particularly enjoy supporting women who have been “afraid to be alone” in developing a deep and fulfilling relationship with the Self in their recovery.
I also offer online “women’s groups” and also provide short-term coaching, training and consultation on topics related to neuro-different women in trauma and addiction recovery.
To learn more about me or how I may help support you through the circumstances that have brought you here, please reach out! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to connecting with you.
