ALISON MARKOWITZ, LCSW

Therapy for Anxiety, Relationships and Trauma in NYC.

Virtual Therapy Available Throughout New York and Florida.‍

Therapist in serene office setting.

You're holding it together. But privately, something isn't sitting right. Maybe it's the anxiety that won't quiet down. The relationship patterns you keep ending up in. Or something that happened that still shows up in ways you can't fully explain.

We’ll get to the root of what’s driving your

patterns —so you can finally stop repeating them

ANXIETY, RELATIONSHIP & TRAUMA THERAPY IN NYC

This Might Sound Familiar…….

✦ You appear put-together, but internally feel untethered. Unclear about your direction, values, or authentic voice.

✦ You are competent, responsible, and dependable, but internally tense. Your nervous system rarely feels settled.

✦ You constantly second-guess yourself. Success hasn’t quieted the inner critic; it’s often made it louder.

✦ You feel stuck in the same relationship cycles that you can see clearly but can’t change. You toggle between wanting closeness and needing space.

✦ You feel responsible to keep the peace in your relationships - you find yourself holding back, shutting down or adjusting (again).

You’re exhausted from carrying this alone.

This isn’t sustainable.

How I Can Help.

ANXIETY THERAPY

We’ll get your mind out of overdrive and slow things down so you can think clearly and stop second-guessing yourself. Anxiety can feel like your mind never fully shuts off and your body stays on edge.

RELATIONSHIP ISSUES

It’s about how you do relationships — with friends, family and coworkers. We’ll figure out the patterns you fall into, how you protect yourself, and where you get stuck.

TRAUMA & EMDR

Trauma isn't always one big event — sometimes it's a relationship that wore you down, a loss that reshaped you, or a stretch where things felt out of control. If something still has a hold on you, we can work with it.

ALISON MARKOWITZ, LCSW

Hi, I’m Alison. I help capable, self-aware adults who seem put-together on the outside. Privately, they second-guess themselves, feel unsure of their needs, and are stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand.

Together, we make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface — not just what’s showing up, but why it keeps happening. As things become clearer, you feel more grounded, steady and aligned in how you move through your life.

What matters most is how we work together. I’m direct without being harsh. Curious without being passive. Emotionally present and engaged. We pay attention to what happens in the room. Not to analyze you, but to help you experience yourself differently in real time.

My approach to anxiety, relationship, and trauma therapy is active, relational, and emotionally attuned. I draw from many psychological frameworks to help understand what’s driving your patterns and start doing things differently. This is therapy for people who are self-aware, motivated, and ready to move beyond insight into actual change.

I am licensed to work with clients in both New York & Florida.

What People Are Saying.

This All Resonates, Now What?

  1. Book a Free Consultation Call.

    I offer a free 15-minute phone call. This gives you a chance to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and determine if it feels like a good fit. You can book a time for your free consultation directly by clicking here.

  2. Schedule Your Individual Session.

    If you decide to move forward, we’ll find a time that works for your schedule and set up your first session. I’ll also walk you through what to expect so you feel comfortable getting started.

  3. Begin the Work!

    In our sessions, we’ll focus on what’s actually keeping you stuck —your patterns, your reactions and what’s driving them. As things become clearer, you’ll start to feel more grounded, and respond differently in your life and relationships.
