Effective, Evidence-Based Therapy in Chappaqua
Many people start therapy because they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. If you’re dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or a major life change, you need more than just a place to vent; you need an approach that's incisive, targeted to your needs, and built to move you forward.
At Allison Thaler Therapy, I work with Chappaqua-based clients who want a practical, evidence-based approach that delivers results and respects your time. You’ll get a clear-eyed look at what’s in your way and targeted strategies to move past it.
I also work with individuals navigating overthinking, low self-worth, career stress, and relationship challenges. These issues often overlap, and we address them as part of a larger pattern, so you’re not just managing symptoms, but making real change.
Focus Areas
Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm can take many forms, including racing thoughts, low motivation, panic, endless worrying or feeling out of control in your life. These issues often occur together, making it hard to feel stable or at peace.
In therapy, we’ll target what drives these patterns and work toward a steadier mood, clearer thinking, and a healthier mindset. I use CBT and REBT to address both the surface symptoms and the underlying beliefs that keep these cycles going, so change lasts beyond the moment.
Always aiming to get it right or keep others happy can leave you anxious, drained, and unsure where you stand.
Perfectionism and people pleasing often feed each other, creating pressure to perform and fear of letting others down. Therapy will help you break those patterns so you can feel more confident, decisive, and in control of your own choices.
Intrusive thoughts can feel constant, disturbing, and impossible to shake. Whether they’re about harm, contamination, relationships, or needing things to be “just right,” they may create loops of fear and compulsive behavior. Through therapy you'll learn what keeps those loops going and gain tools that help you respond and regain a sense of control and agency.
Even high achievers can struggle with self-doubt. Whether it’s imposter syndrome, negative self-talk, or feelings of inadequacy, these patterns can quietly undermine your decisions and relationships. In therapy, we’ll challenge those beliefs and help you build a more accurate, grounded sense of who you are.
When your identity is tied to achievement, constant pressure at work can take a real toll. Long hours, high-stakes decisions, and the need to always perform can lead to exhaustion, irritability, and second-guessing your worth.
My therapeutic approach helps you set boundaries, stop overextending yourself for external validation, and reconnect with your sense of purpose.
Big changes can shake your sense of direction, identity, or stability. Whether it’s career, relationships, menopause or your role in the world, it’s easy to feel untethered. In our work together, we’ll get clear on what’s actually changing, what beliefs or fears are being triggered, and what choices will move you toward something more solid and self-defined.
ADHD in adults often shows up as distraction, disorganization, trouble starting or finishing tasks, and mental fatigue from constantly trying to keep it all together. If your brain feels like it’s running five tabs at once, we’ll work on building structure, improving follow-through, and reducing the shame that can come with feeling scattered.
We’ll target executive functioning skills like task initiation, prioritization, and self-monitoring, while also addressing emotional regulation and the impact ADHD can have on identity and self-esteem.
Whether you’re navigating dating, struggling with emotional or physical intimacy, or repeating patterns that leave you unsatisfied, therapy can help you understand what’s getting in the way.
We’ll focus on how your beliefs, history, and expectations shape the way you connect with others and how to build relationships that feel more secure, honest, and fulfilling.
If your reactions feel bigger than the situation or hard to control, you’re not alone. Anger, irritability, and emotional outbursts can disrupt your relationships, affect your work, and pull you away from the kind of life you want to build. In therapy, we focus on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening impulse control and distress tolerance.
