Alison Ruth Kravit

Alison Ruth Kravit, RIVER HILLS. Born 1983 died 4/19/2024 at 41 years old. Dr. Alison Kravit, Psy.D. was a well-known psychologist and ADHD coach, loving mother, empathetic listener, and compassionate advocate for the people she treated, her children, and for a more understanding world. In a book she wrote, she said, "One of my favorite things about myself - I make people feel understood for who they are and accepted. I loved helping people improve their lives. It's my favorite thing to hear someone say they finally accept themselves for who they are and have the confidence to move forward." She leaves behind her children, Jack Kravit O'Brien (9), Hannah (6), and Margot Kravit (2), who she loved and adored. She is survived by her parents, Stephen and Anne Kravit; her sisters, Dr. Jessie (Dr. Michael) DeFazio, and Katie (Craig Dimbleby) Kravit; her friend and former husband, Timothy (Amanda) O'Brien; along with her special nieces and nephews, Sammy, Luisa, and Cole. She is further survived by close cousins Michael, Emily, JJ, Harte, and Oliver and their respective spouses and children. She was preceded in death by her life partner, Clyde Blake, and her beloved grandmas Jackie and June. She was a principal therapist at Mequon Clinical Associates for more than a decade. As an ADHD-certified coach, she was a nationally recognized authority, treating people from all over the world. She wrote "People with ADHD are my absolute favorite people!" Ali was unique and special. She loved tie-dyed clothing, tattoos, rainbows, and anything colorful. She was unapologetically herself, embracing her individuality with hair in every color and wearing sweatpants as often as she could. She wrote her funeral wishes to "wear sweatpants, neon or skulls. Make people smile. Do what you need to do in order to be OK." Ali loved helping people see the good in themselves and work with their brains instead of against them. She said, "I want to be remembered as someone who truly cares about what people go through and their perceptions of things." Her greatest joy was seeing people learn, understand, and love themselves. She wrote "Be yourself - as Dr. Seuss says, 'those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind!'." Her last words were "No matter what, be kind. I love all of you!"
