About
Aliki Pishev
LICSW, CSAT, CCPS
As a psychotherapist with over 37 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in all kinds of settings, I am dedicated to helping people overcome their life challenges and reach their goals for success. In particular, I specialize in trauma and addictions. I provide individual and couples therapy for partners and couples who are experiencing betrayal trauma due to infidelity or sex addiction. I also lead partner trauma groups, intensives, and workshops. My clinical approach integrates trauma-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hypnosis, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), Neuroscience, Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
As the Founder and Executive Director of Center for Life Solutions, Inc., a family-centered counseling practice, my goal is to offer a team-oriented, state-of-the-art service to families in need.
I am also a member of New England Recovery Associates, a network of sex addiction specialists.
I am also a Mother Hunger facilitator and offer groups, intensives, and workshops on mother-hunger issues for women.
