Alison Teal, MA, MFT
Guest
Alison has been a licensed psychotherapist (MFT21594) since 1986 and is an internationally certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant. For over 40 years, she has worked with individuals, couples, and families and supported people of all walks of life in their journeys of healing, growth, and personal empowerment. She has also shared her work through lectures, workshops, and retreats, both across the U.S. and internationally.
Teaching has been a central theme in Alison’s professional path. She began in Special Education, working with children who faced profound emotional and developmental challenges. Those early years shaped her deep respect for the innate human capacity to heal and the many ways people adapt, survive, and grow. In 1994, she founded and directed Creative Explorations, a unique school that combined psychology and soul work to help people explore their inner worlds through the language of art. Additionally, she taught graduate psychology at Saint Mary’s College for 14 years.
Alison’s work draws from many streams: expressive arts, somatic awareness, ego state psychology, and the wisdom of Buddhist and mindfulness practices, which she’s cultivated through decades of meditation. These influences weave together in a way that positions her to meet her students and clients exactly where they are and with respect for their stories, cultures, and personal beliefs.
Alison is also a Certified Change and Transition Strategist in the Phillip Moffitt Method. She offers individual and group sessions both online and in person as well as workshops that invite people to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters to them. Her focus is on helping people to find inner steadiness, alignment with genuine values, and to manifest personal and professional goals.
After decades of observing the strengths and limitations of many personal growth approaches, Alison created Super Resourcing. It is a time efficient, gentle yet powerful process that helps people access inner strength, clarity, and well-being. Unlike traditional trauma and distress resolution modalities, this innovative approach offers a path to wholeness without the need for trauma immersion or focus on what is wrong or broken. It is not about the past and what happened, but rather more about present-time empowerment; it builds on each person’s innate potential and helps them to neurologically integrate their most authentic self and to become the person they want to be.
A lifelong artist, creativity and curiosity are the lenses through which Alison experiences the world. She brings this perspective into to everything she does and believes deeply in the resilience of the human spirit; no matter our background, story, or starting point we all have the capacity to transform old patterns into strength, clarity, and possibility.
