Alison Chrun

Alison Chrun is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with 8 years of clinical experience. She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, self-esteem issues, depression, LGBT-related concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her therapeutic manner is warm and understanding, and she strives to meet clients where they are while encouraging steady progress toward their goals. Alison adapts each approach to fit the individual, combining solution-focused strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and humanistic counseling with a strong emphasis on mindfulness.

Alison’s activity on the message boards is intermittent; she generally responds within 24 hours unless she is scheduled to be on leave, which she will announce in advance. She tends to be more active on the boards in the evenings and can sometimes maintain a back-and-forth text exchange when appropriate. She offers Live Chats, Video Sessions, and Live Phone Sessions, and if an earlier appointment is needed she can try to accommodate that request when notified on the boards.

Reaching out for support is often one of the hardest steps toward healing. Alison is ready to walk alongside clients through that process and looks forward to speaking with them soon.
