Allison Juszkiewicz (she/her) is a trauma-focused, somatically informed psychotherapist who provides relational, mind-body oriented care for adults. She works with individuals and couples navigating grief and loss, life transitions, developmental and intergenerational trauma, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, identity formulation, relationship challenges, and complex-PTSD. Her clinical work centers the integration of physiological experience and emotional meaning, with attention to nervous system regulation, attachment patterns, and adaptive coping across the lifespan.
Allison is particularly attuned to those who have lived outside dominant social norms or who have felt othered throughout their lives, including artists and creatives, neurodivergent and highly sensitive individuals, LGBTQIA+ clients, adoptees, former foster youth, psychedelic explorers, and individuals from non-traditional family constellations. She aims to provide affirming care that supports understanding one’s history, expanding emotional capacity, and engaging more fully in the present.
Allison received her Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University. She completed clinical training at Samadhi Outpatient Clinic and The Adoptive & Foster Family Coalition of New York. She is currently completing Somatic Experiencing trauma training through SE International and a nine-month adoption competency training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education. She is also an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher through ISHTA Yoga, a Certified Integrative Sound & Music Practitioner through The New York Institute of Sound & Music, and holds a Certificate in Musical Theatre Performance from the American Musical & Dramatic Academy. Allison worked professionally as a performing artist in New York City for over a decade, performing internationally, and has taught more than 3,000 hours of yoga and meditation, including leading retreats worldwide. Her therapeutic orientation draws from Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, relational psychodynamic perspectives, and narrative approaches. Treatment attends to the physiological and psychological impacts of trauma, with attention to stabilization, emotional regulation, and existing strengths. Sessions may integrate somatic tracking, mindfulness-based interventions, and pacing strategies that increase tolerance for sensation and emotion.
Allison’s style is relational, attuned, and collaborative. She works to establish safety and trust, support adaptive coping, strengthen reflective capacity, and increase regulation through a mind-body lens. The therapeutic process prioritizes informed choice, agency, and a patient pace.
