Allison Peck, Psychotherapist, LCSW, MA, BBA

Allison Peck, LCSW, MA, BBA has been working with adult individuals in the family-building years since 2009. Working with couples is a specialty, with a focus on shared values, vision for roles and responsibilities, as well as work/life balance emerging from maternity (and paternity) leave.

“I love working with people who are lifelong learners and curious about self-development throughout the life span. I enjoy exploring meaning and identity for parents who work. Through increased self-awareness, consciousness, and self-compassion, I support and empower women to close the gender pay gap despite the biological inequities which can increase psychological vulnerability. Research shows us that by creating healthy habits we can increase our physical and mental well-being through sleep hygiene, hydration, nutrition, and exercise. My passion is to support and empower adults through education, skills, and discussion. Clients say that they appreciate my global business background and mindfulness journey over three decades.”

Trained to consider the organism-in-the-environment, Allison appreciates the nuances of culture, complexity of family dynamics, organizational psychology, and neuroscience. She offers tools and techniques, communication skills, and support with a positive outlook.

With the Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School (2008-2011), Allison gained experience at the Brief Psychotherapy Research Program at Beth Israel Hospital, treating Adult Psychiatric Outpatients supervised by Jeremy Safran; Neuroscience research experience with Marcel Kinsborne; and Attachment Theory research with Howard and Miriam Steele.

Allison graduated from New York University with a Masters in Social Work (2020) and is experienced in treating adult patients with mood disorders, trauma, adjustment disorders, life and career transitions, and relationship issues throughout the lifespan. She uses an integrative approach to therapy, combining psychodynamic insight with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, DBT, and mindfulness-based tools in order to cultivate response flexibility and self-compassion.
