Allison Radoff, ADHD + Autism Couples Therapist
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT
2 Endorsed
San Diego, CA 92102
Welcome! I work with couples and polycules looking to deepen their understanding of one another, improve trust, communication and intimacy. As a neurodivergent therapist, I enjoy working with mixed-neurotype relationships (where one or more partners identifies as ADHD, autistic, PDA / demand avoidant, or OCD). I support my clients in better understanding the ways their neurotype, past trauma and attachment affect communication and the patterns and cycles within their relationship. I help create a safe space where both partners can show up as their full selves and heal together creating lasting change.

I draw from EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, IFS (parts work), and cognitive and dialectical approaches.
Are you exhausted in a way that’s hard to explain? Do you find yourself going through the motions of a life that looks fine on the outside, while quietly feeling disconnected, depleted, and far from yourself? If so, you are not alone, and something can be different.
I work with women who are carrying a lot. Women who grew up learning to be everything for everyone else, and somewhere along the way lost touch with who they actually are. Women healing from trauma, narcissistic abuse, eating disorders, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from spending years performing a version of yourself that doesn’t quite fit.

Have you found yourself not feeling like you during your reproductive journey and not even sure why? You might look like you’re holding it all together, while inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or numb. Maybe you’re overthinking everything, feeling emotionally exhausted, or questioning why this feels harder than it “should.” Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, trying to conceive, or coping with a loss, it can feel incredibly isolating to carry so much internally while still showing up for daily life, relationships, and responsibilities. You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

As an IFS therapist and psychedelic integration coach, I work with people interested in moving beyond the confines of the mind to attend to all aspects of their rich and complex inner worlds.

Through this work, clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, unlocking their potential for profound growth.

If you desire change and healing in areas of your life, I would love to walk alongside you in the counseling room to unpack your story and help you explore what that healing could look like.

If you're hoping to address traumatic memories and PTSD symptoms, I also provide EMDR therapy as a specialized option for working through trauma and distressing experiences.

I have always been passionate about understanding others. I believe that most peoples’ actions and beliefs make sense once you understand the full context of their stories. However, we often judge others instead of taking the time to do this. Having a non-judgmental space to explore one’s emotions and experiences is a gift I believe everyone should have access to. Therapy is special because in addition to providing that non-judgmental space, I also can offer practical tools and support for mental health based on my education and experience as a therapist.

Consider pausing and taking a breath. Welcome to Healing & Growth. Movement and change often require a new lens, new tools and a partnership with a professional. I utilize mind/body/spirit integrative therapies including Compassion Focused therapy, Yoga & Reiki to assist individuals, partners and families experiencing life transitions, grief & loss and unhealthy generational patterns. Together we identify and build upon core beliefs & existing strengths. Through this process self-limiting beliefs shift to self-enhancing beliefs. Peace, ease and contentment become part of your everyday life as you breathe and settle to breathe again.

I am a Level 2 trained Internal Family Systems ( IFS) therapist.
People seek therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others. I believe therapy should be a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can speak freely and feel understood. My goal is to help you regain balance, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and well-being.

I bring clinical knowledge, you bring lived experience. Together, we create something tailored to who you are - not who you were told to be. Rather than reducing clients to diagnoses, symptoms, or productivity-based measures of “wellness,” I approach therapy through a lens of curiosity, context, and humanity. I believe many mental health symptoms are often understandable responses to trauma, relational wounds, systemic oppression, chronic stress, and environments that ask people to survive in ways that disconnect them from themselves - as opposed to evidence of failure, brokenness, or dysfunction.
