Allie Kessel(She/Her/Hers)

Allie Kessel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New York, NY who works with teenagers, young adults, and adults. Her main client demographic is people who struggle with anxiety and/or OCD. Often, her clients’ perfectionism leads to struggles with low self-esteem or relationship issues, as does their feelings of worthlessness. Allie also works with people who are going through major life changes or high levels of stress. 

Allie’s approach blends several therapy approaches, offering clients a wide range of evidence-based interventions and support. She often leans on somatic techniques to help clients explore how their bodies react to their emotions. This might look like targeting racing thoughts or aches, which could be manifestations of trauma or distress. Allie’s clients learn more about mental health and the role that their emotions can play in their lives and relationships, learning how to boost their self-compassion and self-love. 

Allie earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. She has over seven years of experience in the mental health setting and is passionate about transforming her clients’ lives. She is an empathetic therapist who supports healing and empowerment, helping turn clients’ lives around.
