For therapists who want support -
clinically, energetically, and in growing their business.
If you’re a therapist (or other mental health provider) who’s deeply empathic, relational, and client-centered - but you’re also exhausted, over-giving, second-guessing your skill, or unsure how to build a business that actually feels authentic yet sustainable - you’re not alone!
And you don’t have to figure it all out on your own! Supervision, consultation, and support from fellow therapists has been a game changer for me in helping me grow. It’s so deeply important to have your own support system (as you know) and I’d be honored to support you!
I offer 1:1 consultation & coaching sessions to support therapists with:
✨ Business growth: Niching and marketing authentically and relationally, burnout prevention and creating sustainability, creating/running/and marketing support groups, making the leap to cash pay private practice and getting started, identifying other ways to use your skill outside of just individual therapy, and growing without hustle.
✨ Aligned marketing strategies: I am here to support you in finding what marketing strategy truly works for you whether its building up your referral network, creating a SEO strategy and optimizing your website, social media, or creating alternative streams of income (workshops, groups, intensives, coaching, newsletters, etc). And making a plan on how to consistently, yet sustainably follow through. To me, it’s about finding something that feels aligned and authentic, otherwise you will never stick to it and connect with the clients you want to!
✨ Business coaching: Boundaries with clients, people pleasing in your business, how to manage your energy and prioritize what you need to, honoring your fees and policies, systems to set up sustainability, mindset work, identifying blocks, and accountability toward your goals and intentions
✨Embodied confidence: Feeling grounded in your style, learning to hold your power in the room, developing true self-compassion, and creating a practice that feels aligned with who you are, not who you think you should be
✨ Clinical consultation: To support your clients with complex trauma, codependency, people pleasing, anxiety and depression, self-harm, self esteem, somatic and EMDR integration, nervous system healing, and working with parents and families. To discuss cases, countertransference, and vicarious trauma or compassion fatigue on your nervous system.

Hi, I’m Alyssa - and I LOVE supporting therapists!
I’m a licensed therapist, supervisor, and the founder of AK Psychotherapy - a trauma-informed, somatic, and holistic therapy practice based in NYC, DC, MD, and NJ.
I specialize in working with adults navigating relational trauma and complex cptsd, anxiety, people-pleasing, and nervous system dysregulation. However, I have a background in working at multiple PHP/IOP’s and group private practice - working with a ray of needs (cptsd, bpd, ocd, autism spectrum, working with parents, adhd, self-harm, etc). I’m trained in EMDR, mindfulness approaches, somatic therapies, dbt skills, and often pull from ACT and IFS parts work as well.
In addition to seeing individual clients, I supervise other therapists, create and run 3 support groups, and offer EMDR intensives to clients ready for deeper healing!
With all of this background, I understand the very real pressure of trying to do it all while staying regulated, attuned, and connected to yourself. Whether you're navigating your first client in private practice, trying to scale and add income streams, find an aligned marketing strategy that doesnt overwhelm you, or struggling with your own boundary challenges in your business - our work together can help you come back to your center.
For me, getting the support from other therapists over the years has been a game changer. Not only in helping me grow, but helping me feel deeply connected and seen. This work can sometimes feel lonely and it’s important that we curate our own support systems!
If you are needing a little support with the clinical work with your clients, if you are thinking about starting private practice, or wanting help to grow and market authentically yet sustainably - I’d be honored to support!! It’s a great way to help you grow and hold you accountable to the changes you know you need to make.
What I have personally found that works - is a balance of relational marketing and honing in on my SEO strategy - I believe both are important and I will share all of my feedback and tips that will support you in your growth!
Is this fit right for you?
Working with me is a good fit if you…
Are tired of overfunctioning, undercharging, or feeling unclear about your worth
Want to grow a cash pay practice that actually aligns with your nervous system, not just your goals
Want to learn to speak to your ideal clients and improve your ability to be seen
Struggle with boundaries, imposter syndrome, or over-extending with your clients
Want grounded clinical support that integrates somatic, trauma-informed, and relational work
Crave real talk about our work - not hustle culture or clinical gatekeeping
Want to learn how to market authentically and find your rhythm in private practice in a genuine, sustainable way that honors a true work life balance and feeling fulfilled
Need a marketing strategy you actually follow through on and not get overwhelmed by
Want to add in additional income streams outside of 1:1 work (support groups, intensives, workshops, etc)
A focused, 55 minute individualized business and marketing consultation session (via zoom) for therapists and wellness professionals. This session supports you with clinical-business questions, private practice cash pay growth, boundaries and burnout prevention, developing specialty services, aligned marketing/messaging, content and/or SEO strategy, support group/workshops or therapy intensive creation to expand your practice, and nervous system-aligned business decisions. You’ll leave with clear guidance, feedback, strategies, practical next steps, and recommendations tailored to your goals so you can grow your practice in an authentic sustainable way!
This 50-minute clinical consultation session (via zoom) is for therapists who want support, guidance, and a space to think more deeply about their work. Whether you're navigating a complex trauma case, feeling stuck with a client, noticing countertransference coming up, or wanting to strengthen your clinical skills and specialties, this consultation gives you a place to slow down, reflect, and feel supported in the work you do.
Together, we’ll explore your cases through a relational, trauma-informed, and somatic lens. We can look at attachment patterns, EMDR case conceptualization, boundaries, fawning patterns, the therapist-client dynamic, or anything arising in the therapeutic process. This is a collaborative space to deepen your skill set, receive feedback, and connect back to the kind of therapist you want to be.
This session is ideal for therapists wanting:
• support around trauma, attachment, nervous system work, EMDR, or somatics
• case consultation through a warm, nonjudgmental, relational lens
• guidance around countertransference, boundaries, burnout, or self-trust
• help conceptualizing complex cases or identifying next steps
• a place to bring clinical questions you don’t feel comfortable exploring elsewhere (like enforcing your cancellation policies and the nuance of it)
• the ongoing support needed to grow your identity and clinical skill as a therapist
You'll leave with more clarity, more direction, and a deeper sense of confidence in your clinical work.
Please note, once you book then I will send you a calendly link to schedule our time via zoom :)
You're building something meaningful - but the business side can feel overwhelming, misaligned, or just plain lonely.
This 90-minute deep dive is for therapists and wellness professionals who want clear, personalized guidance on growing their practice in a way that actually feels like them. We'll go wherever you need most - cash pay growth, marketing and SEO strategy that is sustainable, niching and messaging, creating support groups/workshops or therapy intensives to expand your practice, a system for burnout prevention, or nervous system-aligned business decisions.
You'll leave with clarity, concrete next steps, and a plan that fits your values and needs.
This three-session business coaching consultation (via zoom) is designed for therapists who want deeper, more consistent support while building, clarifying, or expanding their private practice. Whether you’re navigating your niche, refining your marketing, raising your fees, launching groups, or wanting to grow in a way that actually feels sustainable, these sessions give you the space, structure, and guidance to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Across three 55-minute sessions, we’ll look at what’s working, what’s not, and what’s keeping you stuck. You’ll get grounded, strategic support from someone who understands both the clinical world and the business side of being a therapist. Together, we’ll map out your goals, strengthen your systems, and create an aligned plan that honors your values, your time, and your nervous system.
This package is ideal for therapists who want:
• accountability and direction while growing their practice
• support with aligned authentic marketing and messaging
• SEO, social media, and content creation strategy
• guidance on building support groups, therapy intensives, or other ways to diversify income
• consultation on fee setting, policies, structure, or boundaries
• clarity around branding, niche, and attracting ideal clients
• a sustainable growth plan that doesn’t lead to burnout
You’ll leave each session with actionable steps and a clearer sense of what you’re building, why it matters, and how to move toward the practice you actually want.
PLUS: email support (during business hours) in between sessions
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
You’re not behind. You’re not failing at this.
You’ve been holding a lot - for your clients, your business, your family - and trying to do it all while second-guessing if you're doing enough.
If you’re feeling stuck, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because you’ve likely been taking on too much, over-extending, or your nervous system is on overdrive and shutting down without the kind of support you actually need!
You deserve spaces that hold you the way you hold everyone else - with depth, clarity, compassion, and loving accountability.
Healing, alignment, and confidence are possible - especially when you stop trying to white-knuckle your way through it alone.

FAQs
-
Clinical supervision is typically required for licensure and involves oversight of your clinical work to ensure competency and ethical practice.
In NY, you have to be employed by your supervisor. So, this wont count toward your hours, but I’m happy to be an additional support.
Consultation is also more flexible - it’s about ongoing professional growth, deepening clinical skill, and gaining perspective on complex cases, countertransference, or burnout all while also being able to discuss business, marketing, personal life and how to balance it all. Its not just focused on the clinical!
-
Not necessarily! While most of my consultation clients are therapists or healing professionals, I also work with coaches, space holders, and wellness practitioners who want support around boundaries, people-pleasing in business, or sustainable growth rooted in regulation and authenticity.
-
At this time, my sessions are for consultation and professional development purposes - not formal supervision hours toward licensure. However, the work often mirrors the depth and reflection found in quality supervision.
-
If you’re a therapist who’s craving more confidence, boundaries, or alignment in your work - or you’re ready to grow your practice without burnout - consultation offers a supportive space to get grounded, reflect, and realign with your purpose.
My style is similar to how I work with clients - relational and authentic. I will also assist you in supporting your own nervous system so I will gently guide you to slow down, check in with yourself, and find self-compassion in your own work.
To me, finding consistency and authenticity is very important so our work will be grounded in that! I also love talking about marketing and business growth, so im happy to support that aspect of your work.
Personally, I have found that having a balanced marketing strategy between a network of providers, a supportive website, and SEO strategy has helped me fill my practice. I have had a waitlist for several month and have scaled my practice through offering support groups, emdr intensives, and put out a monthly newsletter!
If you want to schedule a consultation call with me, I’d love to connect first! And if you want consistent ongoing support, I do require that first before we meet.
-
Every consultation is tailored to your needs. We might explore clinical cases, countertransference, complex trauma and nervous system work, group creation, burnout prevention, business systems, boundaries, marketing authentically, and how to build a practice that actually supports you as a human, not just your clients.
-
Depends on your needs!
Sessions are through zoom and 60 to 90 minutes. They can range from one time to ongoing consistent care.
One time 60 min fee is $300, 90 minutes is $500, 3 pack totals $850, or an ongoing bi-weekly to monthly requires a 3 month minimum commitment.
And yes - it is a business expense so you could write off as deductible!
