CSAT Team Approach
Care You Can Trust. Support You Can Feel.
CSAT Clinicians-in-Residence | Supervised by Dr. Diane Hovey
At Alliance for Healing, we believe in nurturing both healing and healers. Our Clinicians-in-Residence program brings you the care of thoughtfully selected therapists engaging in a new specialty. These therapists, closely supported by Dr. Diane Hovey—our founder, clinical supervisor, and a nationally respected leader in integrative trauma care, are focusing their clinical expertise on the impact of problematic sexual behaviors on relationships including betrayal trauma.
“Our new therapists bring energy, heart, and fresh insight. I’m proud to support them as they grow—and proud to offer you care that blends the best of new ideas with trusted guidance.” — Dr. Diane Hovey, PhD, LMFT
What This Means for You
Each new therapist is grounded in up-to-date clinical approaches and works within a collaborative model that includes regular consultation with Dr. Hovey and our senior team. This means that when you work with a newer specialist, you’re receiving care enriched by deep clinical wisdom and personalized support.
- You’ll receive care from a therapist who brings dedication, fresh perspective, and the latest clinical training.
- Your therapist is part of a team—working under the direct mentorship of Dr. Hovey and consulting regularly with senior specialists.
- You’re not just getting one therapist’s insight—you’re benefiting from the wisdom of a whole team committed to your healing.
