Our Founder's Story
Diane Hovey, PhD, LMFT-S, CPT, CSAT-S, CSRTT-S
Specialized training: Sex Addiction Therapy, Sexual Relational Trauma, Sexual Wellness, Neurofeedback and Biblio/Poetry Therapy
Diane is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and founder of Alliance for Healing. She received her Doctor of Philosophy in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota where she studied with leading experts in stress theory. Her research focused on those with overwhelming life challenges and how the resulting stressors impact the meanings that drive behaviors. Her specialty areas include intimate betrayal trauma, compulsive/problematic sexual behaviors and chronic illness.
Diane works with clients and families experiencing intimate betrayal. Through therapy, she assists individuals, families and couples in finding emotional healing and understanding with issues such as the discovery of infidelity or sexual addiction and other life challenges. She works with clients to improve skills to manage stress, anger, conflict, depression or anxiety stemming from these issues.
I think of myself as a guide. I work with you to address your goals and desires for improved well-being. I use the methods best suited to assist you in meeting your goals and needs along with my creative skills to aid you in expressing experiences that can be difficult to put into words. We work together to improve skills to manage stress, anger, conflict, depression, or anxiety which can impede our abilities to navigate the uncertainties of life. As one of my clients says, “This is immeasurable order in chaos!”
