Our Team Approach
Care You Can Trust. Support You Can Feel.
At Alliance for Healing, we believe that healing happens best in a supportive, collaborative environment. Our clinicians work together to provide personalized care across a wide range of mental health needs. Whether you are seeking support for relational trauma, emotional regulation, individual or relationship repair and healing, or reclaiming a coherent sense of self, purpose, and belonging after trauma has fractured identity and disrupted meaning, our team ensures that your treatment is tailored to your unique goals.
A Team Supporting You and Each Other
Our team includes experienced specialists and newer clinicians who are supported through mentorship and regular consultation with senior staff. Every therapist benefits from the guidance of Dr. Diane Hovey, shared knowledge, and ongoing training so that even fresh perspectives are rooted in expert insight.
Our team thrives on collaboration. Every clinician, whether new or experienced, benefits from ongoing supervision and consultation so our clients receive care informed by multiple perspectives, not just one.”
— Dr. Diane Hovey, PhD, LMFT
What This Means for You
- Collaborative Care: Your therapist is part of a network that consults regularly to ensure your treatment is thoughtful, comprehensive, and evidence-based.
- Specialized Support: Our primary focus areas include relational trauma, emotional regulation, individual or relationship repair and healing, or reclaiming a coherent sense of self, purpose, and belonging after trauma has fractured identity and disrupted meaning. These specialties guide much of our team’s clinical expertise and consultation.
- Diverse Approaches: Our therapists are trained in trauma-focused therapy, relational therapy, neurofeedback, mindfulness-based therapy, and more.
- Tailored to You: Neurofeedback is available for clients experiencing medical or symptom-based concerns, integrated into mental health care to support emotional regulation, focus, sleep, and overall well-being.
- Team-Based Insight: You are not receiving therapy in isolation. Your care is informed by the knowledge and experience of our full clinical team.
