She/Her: Alana is a compassionate and warm art therapist who employs creative, evidenced-based, and trauma-informed methods to support her clients in achieving a better state of wellness. Alana is skilled at talk therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-sensitive methods of counseling, but believes strongly in the power of art to support individuals with recovery.

Alana has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Regardless of the modality, Alana will build services that are specific to the person in therapy, breaking away from “one-size-fits-all” outpatient methods and providing interventions that make a difference.

In addition to her work as an outpatient therapist, Alana fulfills her roles as a Clinical Director by leading GHDC’s internship program for new and continuing Qualified Mental Health Providers (QMHPs). As an intern/QMHP supervisor Alana brings kindness and compassion to the field, with a dedication to helping others to succeed.
