Alison Costa, LMFT

I have been specializing in mental health, personal growth and recovery since 1985. My integrative healing practice since 1992 encompasses both traditional (clinical) and transpersonal psychotherapy modalities by blending western depth psychotherapy with eastern spiritual wisdom. My eclectic style incorporates elements of these therapeutic approaches: cognitive-behavioral, psycho-dynamic, yoga therapy, humanistic, family therapy/marriage counseling, body-oriented/somatic psychology, transpersonal psychology, social psychology, dance therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): chemical dependency/dual diagnosis, and crisis intervention. In session, I am approachable, interactive, progressive, creative and compassionate. Treatment is aimed toward improving identified symptoms, increasing self-awareness and re-balancing interpersonal communication in relationships. I also facilitate RecoverYOURspirit groups: ACoA+ for Women (co-dependency issues; dealing with significant others with addiction/mental illness) Aftercare Group for Women in Early, Mid and Late stage recovery from all addictions I have two offices - one in San Francisco and the other is in Marin county - San Anselmo, CA. I accept insurance and private pay. Look forward to talking with you. Feel free to contact me for more information.
