Alana Chandler is a compassionate and warm Art Therapist who utilizes art processes and materials to suit individuals in furthering the exploration of their experiences, thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Utilizing art processes allows for an alternative way of healing and processing than traditional talk therapy, regardless of prior art-making experience.
Alana believes that an important part of doing therapy with others is being present – holding space for others without expressing biases or taking over someone else’s process unfairly. Alana has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide variety of presenting concerns, and she brings her wealth of expertise to the work of individual care, group counseling, and organizational leadership.
As a leader, Alana brings kindness, composure, and unlimited creativity to supervision, program planning, and ensuring the ethical and responsible implementation of care. Alana supports Glacier Health’s mission of social just and accessible care, holding our practice’s responsibility to patients, other systems, and our responsibility to ensure the best outcomes for staff who trust us as a place of employment, education, and growth.
