ABOUT
ALISON HILD
I received a masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles in 2022, following my undergraduate degree in Human Development and a specialization in Early Childhood from Pacific Oaks College. During my graduate studies, I worked at the Center for Professional Counseling in North Hollywood, CA. During this time, I provided treatment to clients of diverse and varied economic backgrounds, sexual and gender identities, and mental health conditions.
Once becoming established in private practice, I pursued further training in trauma modalities such as EMDR therapy and Brainspotting. I have also studied EFT to support my work with couples. I am currently enrolled in a yearlong training program in the Tao of Trauma, which is a somatic modality that is founded on Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, 5 Elements Theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine and the 5 Stage Threat Response Cycle from Somatic Experiencing. During my graduate studies, I specialized in Spiritual and Depth Psychology and I am trained as a mindfulness and meditation teacher. One of my favorite things about being a psychotherapist is that I am consistently learning and growing. The therapy field is always expanding and my capacity to provide a variety of treatment options helps me to feel invigorated, creative and curious about my work.
While I have worked with many different clients, I have a special interest in working with those struggling with attachment wounds, trauma, codependency, self-esteem and dating or relationships. With a background in the arts, I am passionate about working with clients who are interested in exploring identity in their personal vs. professional lives and are looking for support in a therapist who understands the unique struggles faced by high profile public figures, entertainment industry professionals and creatives. I provide affirming care to clients who identify in the queer, neurodivergent, BIPOC and kink/poly communities.
