Hi!
I'm Alison Bulman!
Psychotherapist/Author
& Creator of
Lovitation™
Whatever your struggle
right now,
I'm here to help you take the first essential brave step
toward liberating yourself:
speaking your truth.
You didn't land here broken.
It's actually a huge strength to ask for help. We just need something different to get different results.
It's how we move big things that won't budge.
Therapy builds this muscle, like a relational lab where you get to experiment with the power of being your most authentic self.
And I specialize in unique communication tools that make it much easier to get super honest with yourself and others.
You'll learn to connect with the internal compass you had all along.
As you build this intimacy with yourself, your life and relationships start to shine.
I offer a safe, judgement-free space for you to do this "polishing", to be seen, heard, and accepted for who you are so you get more of what you want.
You might be here because…
-
Your anxiety, depression, or self-doubt are interfering with your sense of ease or direction
-
You love your partner, but keep missing each other when it matters most
-
You’re single and tired of repeating the same emotional patterns in dating
-
You’re sober—or considering sobriety—and want a healthier lifestyle and relationships
-
You’re navigating a transition: marriage, divorce, career shifts, or identity change
-
You want guidance around intimacy, sex, family dynamics, or communication that actually lands.

When the same arguments keep circling back, or the closeness you once felt has gone quiet, it's not too late to find your way back to each other. Using Lovitation®, my mindful communication method, I help couples slow down, really hear one another, and build a connection that can weather real life.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, a life transition, a pattern you can't seem to break, or a relationship that keeps going the same way, this is a space to understand yourself more deeply and make changes that last.
I bring 20 years of personal recovery to my clinical work, so I understand both sides of the room. Whether you're newly sober, years into recovery, or still deciding what you want, we'll work on what sobriety alone doesn't fix: emotional honesty, relationships, and a life you don't need to escape from.
