My name is Alexandra Sweeney, but I go by Ally. I have been working in the field since 2018. I specialize in children/adolescents, Autism, and Eating Disorders. I like to take a relational approach with therapy: I believe that all relationships whether they are past or present are important in the therapy process. I believe it is important to understand how a person is in their familial, romantic, or platonic relationships and how this impacts the person as a whole. I use the counseling process to foster a healthy relationship and a way to create boundaries and help people be their true self in every relationship.

I work by using an integrative approach and adapt the approaches that is best suited for the client’s needs. I have experience in delivering Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy & Dialectic Behavioural Informed Therapy. I understand that therapy can be daunting but I offer a safe, confidential, emphatic and non-judgemental environment. My aim is to help clients understand their mental health issues better and empower them to achieve the changes they need in order to live a better quality of life. I have been a Counselling Psychologist for over 10 years and have a wide range of experience in a variety of healthcare settings such as the NHS, Charities & Private Hospitals in the UK. I have extensive experience working in both primary and secondary care settings including Secondary Schools, Universities, Drug & Alcohol Services, Trauma Services and in Forensic Settings. I also have experience working with young people and adults presenting with a wide range of difficulties such as depression, anxiety, eating disorder, personality disorder, drug addiction and relationship difficulties. I offer individual, group, family & couples therapy.

I believe that true well-being is achieved through an Acceptance and Commitment towards Change. My practice, ACC LLC, takes a holistic, person-centered approach to address mental health and behavioral concerns. After over 20 years dedicated to assisting individuals, families, and groups, my goal remains simple: to empower and assist you in healing through the natural, yet often challenging, process of change. You are not alone in this journey. Help is only a phone call away. My Qualifications and Specialties Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in PA and NJ: With more than two decades of experience in psychotherapy and case management. Dual Master’s Degree in Divinity: Providing a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual and existential dimensions of healing.

I have an LPC and an LMFT and have been seeing clients since 1996. I have extensive training in helping people who are going through or have experienced narcissistic abuse and any form of childhood trauma, this includes verbal and emotional abuse, family addictions, or any early childhood experience that would cause one to feel unsafe. I am also experienced in the treatment of anxiety, worry and mood concerns and work with addictions, obsessive compulsive behaviors and any poor coping skills or core beliefs that were developed in order to manage these stressors. I use practices primarily focused on somatic and cognitive therapy but also utilize acceptance commitment therapy, internal family systems, mindfulness and am solution focused. I use homework and assignments aimed at regulating the nervous system in order to repair the fight/flight/freeze response that is often stuck on due to a continuous history of a variety of life stressors (trauma). This trapped and stored trauma continues to trigger the nervous system to respond in ways where we continue to feel unsafe, even after the threats have passed. By working with the nervous system to release this trapped trauma and find safety, we can then have the opportunity to respond to the world differently.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to the temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a Black, queer, non-binary, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Board Certified Diplomate (BCD) in Clinical Social Work, and Certified Sexuality Educator (CSE) with over 15 years of wide-ranging interdisciplinary experience in healing-centered and trauma-informed clinical practice, research, education, and servant leadership, I look forward to tailoring my approach to meet your needs and help you reach your goals.

With your consent, I guide you into a deeply relaxed state in which new perspectives are more easily accessible or receptive.
