Allison O'Grady, MSW, LCSW

In my practice, I offer adult and couples therapy, specializing in trauma, anxiety, loss, and relationship distress. I collaborate with individuals and couples who experiences fear, sadness, anger, and disconnection who seek a pathway to healing, greater emotional connection, and sense of well being. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including attachment-based, mindfulness, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused approaches. I incorporate somatic & sensorimotor strategies, IFS, & EMDR to help heal trauma. My style is calm, non-judgmental, and interactive. It is an honor to partner with clients in their journey. I provide integrative trauma treatment to individuals incorporating both traditional and mind-body interventions, helping clients heal, grow, and reintegrate. EMDR is an effective trauma therapy which helps desensitize traumatic memories, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and connects clients with hope and healing beliefs towards reintegration.

With EFT, couples are able to move towards a new path or dance of connection and love.

Over the last 20+ years, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including addiction treatment, community mental health, crisis intervention, and employee assistance, working in NY, VA and MD. I have been in private practice since 2008. I enjoy helping clients understand what they are experiencing and gain hope, confidence, and skills to move forward.
