Aly Murray, LMHC
As a trauma therapist, I help people improve their mental health, process painful experiences, and connect with their strengths. I draw from narrative approaches, inner child work, and mind-body techniques to support nervous system and emotional regulation throughout the healing journey. I help by not just listening, but really hearing you.
Are you noticing that things from your past are affecting your present functioning? Or maybe you’re reacting to things in ways you don’t like or maybe don't fully understand. It might have been one experience that changed everything, or a long stretch of difficult situations that left lasting marks. You may feel stuck, guarded, or disconnected from yourself and others. If this sounds familiar, I’m here to help you untangle the impact of those experiences and begin rebuilding a sense of safety, trust, and self-compassion.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out. Healing can feel messy, isolating, and confusing, but I offer the time, space, and gentle guidance to explore what’s weighing on you and help you move toward a steadier, healthier, and more connected version of yourself. I am here for you when you are ready.
FAQs

Before beginning my graduate studies, I worked as an in-home family specialist, where I gained a deep understanding of family systems and trauma-informed care.
I went on to earn my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a certificate in Advanced Trauma Care from Bay Path University and worked for a community mental health clinic. During that time, I honed my skills supporting and helping people while pursuing my license in mental health counseling.
In 2025, I transitioned into private practice to continue supporting those healing from trauma and navigating complex life experiences. My goal is to create a compassionate, grounding space where clients can feel safe exploring their stories and building toward lasting change.

I meet clients where they are at and help them figure out where they want to go. The in between is where we walk together at your pace. I like to learn what helps you best; do you need someone to sit and witness your story, or maybe you need someone who is going to help you stay accountable to your goals. I am a hard worker in the sense that I do everything I can to help you do the hard work, but I have the awareness to slowdown when necessary and be present in the moments where you might need to simply feel safe or need a laugh. Working with me means that we will show up together to "get the work done" while also sharing laughs and celebrating the mundane.

What started as a fascination for psychology in a psych 101 course turned into a career of furthering my understanding of how experiences can impact a person's functioning. I loved learning about the different approaches that can help people lead different lives. It is like what they say about love; "when you know you know" and I know that I love helping others navigate mental health.

I am always looking for realistic and accessible ways that people can improve their mental health and overall lives. I look for content that translates into psychoeducation or a tool that clients can use in and out of therapy sessions.
