Clinical & Business Consultation
For relational, trauma-informed therapists who want to grow - clinically, professionally, and sustainably - without losing themselves in the process.
I offer 1:1 consultation and supervision-informed support for therapists who are deeply invested in their work and ready to feel more confident, grounded, and aligned in how they practice and run their business.
✨ Clinical consultation - Support around cases, relational dynamics, countertransference, and working with your clients.
✨ Business coaching support - Guidance on starting private practice, growth with your ideal clients finding you, adding support groups, checking in with boundaries, pricing, and finding sustainability in your practice.
✨ Embodied confidence - Helping you trust your clinical judgment, show up with clarity, and move out of imposter syndrome and over-functioning.
✨ Authentic marketing & sustainability - Creating visibility and systems that feel aligned - not performative, exhausting, or disconnected from your values.
*Please note that while I do supervise, this is for consultation purposes - which means it’s an additional support and not for getting clinical hours
*Once you book a session with me, I will send you a calendly invite to schedule our time!
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:
✨ 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.
✨ Business growth: Niching and marketing authentically and relationally, burnout prevention and creating sustainability, creating/running/and marketing support groups, making the leap to private practice and getting started, identifying other ways to use your skill outside of just individual therapy, and growing without hustle.
✨ Authentic marketing strategies: I am here to support you in finding what marketing strategy truly works for you whether its building up your referral network, SEO and 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.
✨ 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

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 multiple 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, 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.

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!
Once you purchase a session, I will send you a calendly invite to book the time!
