Alyssa Kushner

Clinical Social Work/Therapist

Hi! I'm Alyssa Kushner, LCSW, a psychotherapist, educator, group leader, and founder of AK Psychotherapy and AK Alignment & Growth. Through my private practice, I specialize in relational and attachment trauma, anxiety, hypervigilance, codependency, people-pleasing, self abandonment, and the patterns that leave high-functioning women feeling responsible for everyone around them. I integrate relational therapy, EMDR, attachment, IFS, nervous-system regulation, and somatic approaches.

Through my second business, AK Alignment & Growth, I bring this work outside the therapy room through educational resources, workshops, group programs for women, and self-paced programs focused on over-responsibility, over-giving, boundaries, self-trust, and learning to care for others without abandoning yourself. I also offer business & marketing consultation for therapists and run a bi weekly consultation group for over thinking & over-giving therapists in private practice.
