Alifano Randall, PhD

I saw Randal Alifano for psychotherapy for about 5 years 12 years ago, then returned to see him again a year or two ago when I wanted some additional support. Working with Randal has changed my life — he has helped me significantly reduce anxiety, deepen and strengthen my relationships, have more fun, trust myself more, excel in my career, and free myself from unhealthy and painful patterns with my biological family. Randal is a wonderful therapist — attentive, intuitive, warm, funny, smart, and creative. He is so skilled at working with the deep emotional stuff, yet he can bring a light touch and sense of humor that helps to make the deep and sometimes painful healing process manageable. He is rock solid in his presence and I always know that he is there for me. I am very spiritually oriented and Randal is able to integrate spiritual awareness into all of our work together. During my break from individual therapy, my husband and I saw him for several months for couples therapy. Awesome! — that’s all I can say about his capacity to work with couples to help foster intimacy and growth. I recommend Randal highly and without reservation.

Dr. Randall Alifano has been a counselor, a spiritual guide and, indeed, a friend, on-​and-​off for over a decade. During that time he has helped immeasurably with my personal growth and with my behavior in the world. He has supported and guided me through some excruciatingly hard times, and has shared many joyful times with me as well.
The main reason for the success of our relationship is, I think, that I simply sense that he likes and enjoys me! So I feel quite relaxed, comfortable, and supported in relating anything that comes up for me. That feeling means a lot, and it’s followed me in many and varied explorations of my personality. These days we seem to be doing much exploring of where I feel myself to be on the planet and in the universe. That’s more «spiritual,» I suppose, but actually, it’s simply more expansion of what Randall can bring to my consciousness, just by the great way he knows how to ask questions. The journey is exhilarating and I expect it never to end.
I have recommended friends to Randall as well, in the hope that their fit and match with him might be as successful as mine. Insofar as that occurs, a relationship with him will be wonderfully rewarding.

Words can’t express my gratitude and admiration for Dr. Randall Alifano, but I’ll try. The blessings that define my life today — stability, happiness, intimacy, trust, peace — things that eluded me for most of my life, are a direct result of the many hours I’ve spent with Randall. While it took me years to get this far — I can be stubborn — there wasn’t one hour that I didn’t feel we were getting closer. I’ve never met anyone quite like Randall. He is more engaged and less programmatic than a shrink, more earthy and less dogmatic than a «guru,» more holistic and wise than a «life coach.» He is my friend and my teacher and one of the few people I’ve ever met who seems to know how to live in this world. He’s waiting to share that knowledge with you. All you have to do is show up. You’ll be forever grateful that you did.
