THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES & FAMILIES

Therapy Services in California

Support for meaningful change.

At Alison Hunter Therapy, we provide relational, collaborative therapy for individuals, couples and families throughout California.

Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, parenting, a major life transition, chronic stress or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, our therapists offer a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface and find a way forward that feels more connected and intentional.

Alongside traditional talk therapy, our team offers experiential approaches including equine-assisted psychotherapy, nature-based therapy and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Couples Therapy & Relationship Counseling

Our therapists help individuals and couples better understand the patterns shaping their relationships, communicate more openly, navigate conflict and create deeper, more authentic connection.

Whether you’re strengthening an already healthy relationship or wondering how to move forward through a difficult season, therapy offers space to understand each other differently.

Couples Therapy

Communication, conflict, intimacy & connection

Marriage Counseling

Strengthening relationships through difficult seasons

Premarital Counseling

Building a strong foundation before marriage

Relationship Anxiety Therapy

Support for doubt, insecurity & recurring relationship fears

Anxiety, Trauma & Life Transitions Therapy

Sometimes you know exactly why you’re struggling. Other times, life simply begins to feel heavier, smaller or harder to navigate.

Our therapists help clients understand the experiences and patterns contributing to distress while developing greater self-awareness, resilience and connection to themselves.

For worry, overwhelm & feeling constantly on edge

Trauma Therapy

Processing painful experiences and their lasting impact

Support through change, loss & new chapters

Child, Teen & Family Therapy

Growing up, and raising a family, comes with seasons when everyone could use a little more support.

Our therapists work collaboratively with children, teens, parents and families to better understand what’s happening beneath behaviors and emotions, strengthen relationships and create healthier patterns within the family system.

Child & Teen Therapy

Support for emotional, behavioral & developmental challenges

Family Therapy

Improving communication, connection & family dynamics

Parenting Support

Guidance for navigating the complicated parts of parenting

Therapy for Stress, Burnout & High-Stress Careers

Our therapists understand that chronic stress and burnout aren’t always solved by simply “doing less.” Therapy can help you understand the emotional impact of demanding work, reconnect with yourself outside of your professional role and create more sustainable ways of moving through life.

Stress & Burnout Therapy

For exhaustion, overwhelm & chronic stress

High-Stress Jobs Therapy

For the emotional weight of demanding careers

Experiential & Integrative Therapy

Meaningful therapy doesn’t always have to happen sitting across from someone in a traditional office.

Alongside talk therapy, members of our team offer experiential and integrative approaches that can bring movement, nature, animals and different forms of reflection into the therapeutic process.

These approaches aren’t about replacing conversation. They offer another way to notice patterns, experience relationships and engage with the work happening in therapy.

Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Experiential therapy incorporating connection with horses

Nature-Based Therapy

Bringing movement, nature & the outdoors into therapy

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Therapeutic support for preparation, exploration & integration

How Do I Know Which Type of Therapy Is Right for Me?

You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what kind of therapy you need.

Maybe you know you’re anxious but aren’t sure why. Maybe your relationship feels different and you can’t quite name what changed. Maybe your child is struggling. Maybe work has taken over your life. Or maybe you simply know that the way things are right now isn’t how you want them to stay.
