Who We Are

Hello, I am Dr. Alison Dotti, a licensed psychologist and somatic therapist that has been working with youth and families in Sonoma County since 2017. I am excited that you are here and I look forward to working with you. In your sessions,  I will meet you exactly where you are, I will be there with you to hold all that you are and have experienced. I will be a witness and support you on your journey through the pain, joy, love, heartbreak, anger, sadness, anxiety, excitement and growth. I will work with you so that you can create the life you want to live. Everyone is an expert on their own life and I am here to help you tap into that knowledge, find inspiration, and live to your fullest potential. 

I have a creative approach to therapy, as there is no one-size that fits all. We are all beautifully unique individuals. I utilize creativity, art-based approaches, somatic based modalities, and aspects of CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Family Therapy, and Trauma Focused approaches. We will work together to tailor an approach that works best for you. 

Long before I became a psychotherapist I used visual and performative arts as a method to express and process my thoughts and feelings. My creative journey in my younger years and my deep love of supporting others led me to the field of psychology. My experiences, creativity, and flexible thinking allows me to bring a myriad of tools to your session; I think outside of the box and will draw on your strengths and interests to fully support you. I look forward being a part of your journey.
