Aly Dearborn, LMFT

Aly offers trauma-informed psychotherapy and consultation for individual adults. She brings decades of clinical experience, specialized trauma training, and her own personal recovery to her work. A warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate psychotherapist, Aly enjoys helping clients make sense of their life experiences and reactions through the lens of the nervous system.

Primary Approaches

Drawing from a wide range of tools and approaches, Aly values working with each individual in a collaborative way, which means offering choices about possible interventions to explore taking together in therapy. Some primary influences and perspectives that she integrates into her clinical work include:

• Relational, psychodynamic, and client-centered
• Trauma – informed
• Neuro – inclusive
• Polyvagal theory
• Attachment Focused EMDR
• Somatic and creative expressive arts approaches
• Mindful self-compassion
• iRest Yoga Nidra
• Feminist theory

Aly has a particular passion for working with adult women, other mental health professionals, artists/creatives, non-conformists, people in recovery from alcohol/substance abuse, and those with neuro-differences (including ADHD, autism, or AuDHD).

In her free time, Aly is likely to be found acting as her dog’s on-demand butler, adding to her book collection, rearranging her furniture, or outside enjoying nature.
