With a unique blend of attachment-based therapy and somatic approaches, Alison Hild (formerly Lieber) brings a warm, creative, and integrative style to her work as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Anchor Psychotherapy in Pasadena, California. Specializing in infant and child development, parenting, high-conflict family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, and complex trauma, Alison is passionate about supporting families and children through life's challenges.

Alison's therapeutic approach is grounded in her strong appreciation for the mind-body connection and holistic healing. She skillfully integrates mindfulness, self-regulation techniques, and various somatic-based modalities into her clinical work. As a trained practitioner in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, Alison offers these powerful tools to help clients of all ages process past trauma and overcome obstacles to personal growth.

Drawing from her extensive experience in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, Alison creates a safe and affirming environment for all her clients. She believes this is crucial in allowing individuals to explore their inner worlds, process past traumas, and build the affirming relationships they seek. Her background in music and years of work in a preschool setting have honed her ability to communicate effectively with children, giving her a unique perspective on how young minds express thoughts and feelings, especially in response to critical life events.

Alison's therapeutic style is characterized by her warm demeanor and creative approach. She often incorporates a blend of songs, art, play, and narrative work, tailoring her methods to meet each client where they are. This flexible and intuitive approach creates a welcoming and cozy atmosphere where clients feel safe to explore their inner worlds.
