Welcome!

I’m glad you’re here.

Hello! I’m Allison Rocca, LCSW, LCADC, a licensed therapist and the founder of ARA Therapy, and I am passionate about supporting adolescents (aged 13+), young adults, and families in Bergen County and beyond as they navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2020, and for the past six years, I have been dedicated to helping clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work toward personal growth.

I specialize in creating a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to use therapy as a tool to achieve the life they want to live. I work best with clients who are open to reflection and curious about growth, even if they’re unsure where to begin. I am committed to providing individualized therapy that is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique goals. If you are ready to take steps toward personal growth and wellness, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I work with clients on issues including: anxiety and stress management, life transitions and personal growth, eating challenges and body image concerns, substance use and addictive behaviors, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), peer, family, and relationship challenges.

I believe that trust is not given—it’s earned, and here I am committed to earning yours at a pace that feels right for you. At ARA Therapy authenticity meets expertise. I show up as a fellow human while guiding you with evidence-based, research-supported therapy techniques. Therapy here isn’t just about being heard—it’s about partnership. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, identify your goals, and create a path toward the life you want to live.

At ARA Therapy, connection guides the work.
