Allison Heiliczer

Psychotherapist

Rethink The Couch

Allison Heiliczer is an American psychotherapist who has been living in Asia for over a decade and is the founder of Rethink The Couch. She works with individuals and couples in person in Singapore and clients around the world virtually. Heiliczer was the former Head of Corporate Psychology at OT&P’s clinics in Hong Kong.

While the hundreds of individuals and couples she has supported in clinical and private practice settings face various challenges, the common thread is they are navigating relationship or work issues. She also specializes in guiding through intricate cultural layers with couples, corporates, and individuals.

She graduated summa cum laude from New York University (NYU) with a Bachelor of Science, a master’s also from NYU, and a second Master’s in Counselling from Monash University (Australia). Heiliczer is the first therapist in Asia to be certified in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a transformative form of couple’s therapy, pioneered by New York Times bestselling author Terry Real. In addition, she is an ICF-certified coach and has offered extensive coach trainings with executives and at leading multinational corporations.

Heiliczer is the author of the upcoming book Rethink the Couch: Into the Bedrooms and Boardrooms of Asia with an Expat Therapist to be published by Penguin Random House SEA in October 2023.
