Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Alison Seponara, MS, LPC! licensed therapist, integrative anxiety practitioner, and the woman behind The Anxiety Healer, a mental wellness community of over 650,000 women.
Long before the credentials, I was a girl who never quite felt calm in her own body. I grew up with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic attacks. For a long time I believed something was simply wrong with me. That lived experience became the foundation of everything I do.
Today, I specialize in supporting women navigating anxiety around the change that comes with life transitions we experience in our 40s, 50s, and beyond — including peri/menopause, divorce, singlehood, dating, grief & loss, identity shifts, changing relationships, and the particular kind of anxiety that shows up when life asks you to become someone new. I know this terrain because I live in it too!
You are not broken, sweet friend. Your body is not betraying you. You are a woman in the middle of something profound — and you don't have to move through the nights alone.
xo, Ali
