ALYSON ALBANO PSYCHOTHERAPY

Alyson (Stack) Albano

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Welcome to my practice. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides psychotherapy in Santa Monica. I work with adults, couples and families, presenting with a range of symptoms. The fact that you have made it here likely means you are looking to get the help you need and make the necessary changes to experience a full life.  

Life is difficult and to be human is to struggle. Long gone are the days when attending therapy was viewed as "weak". Increasing your support system and seeing the world through a new lens can be relieving and comforting. Beginning the course towards self-actualization is courageous work.

Healing the Pain Behind Addiction

Addiction and related compulsive behaviors are mechanisms in which people cope when they have not learned to experience emotional pain, "legitimate suffering" (Jung).

Contrary to popular belief, substances are not the problem, they become the solution. If you find yourself repeating the same patterns, I can help you uncover why you are stuck.

I focus on treating individuals on personal paths of recovery, as well as the underlying trauma that drives their behavior and contributes to relapse.

You're Not Alone

Healing begins with reaching out. With compassionate support, self-discipline, and the right guidance, meaningful change is possible. Whether you're ready to schedule an appointment or simply have questions, I'm here to help.

We Do not have to Feel Ready for Therapy.

My focus is helping you recognize that ambivalence is a part of the process and that change is not linear. You simply have to start somewhere.
