If your search for peace has brought you this far, give yourself kudos for taking the first and most important step in your healing journey. My name is Alana and I have been a licensed counselor for 13 years. I have experience working with all ages, types of problems and diagnoses, both in individual and group settings. Whether you're struggling with life stress, relationship problems, work-life balance, or past trauma, I am here to walk alongside you on your path to healing.

I hold the strong belief that everyone has the right to be heard with an open mind, regardless of their background or circumstances. I see my role as someone to help you understand yourself, ideally to gain insight and healing. As a clinical social worker, my training has shown me that you, the client, will tell me what you need. Some people need support for a single issue, others need to sort out their past, yet others to plan for their future. We will often find that issues are connected, and strive to put the pieces together.

I am passionate about working with individuals on illness education, symptom management, cognitive restructuring, affect regulation, behavior modification, and interpersonal skill development. My goal is to provide a safe environment for people to learn about themselves, begin to love who they are, and overcome social, emotional, economical, and vocational struggles while reaching their full potential in life. I want to help those who feel unloved and broken return to feeling whole again with active encouragement and support.

I have over 30 years of experience treating anxiety, anger, stress, trauma, and sadness and helping improve relationships and enjoyment of life.

If you are ready to change destructive patterns, getting relief is easier than you might expect. I participate actively in the process by offering feedback designed to increase insight into what drives troubling behavior, conflictual relationships, and symptoms.

My work is with men, women and late adolescents in an effort to provide a greater understanding of how one's past has influenced the present and how to make changes for the future. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist I specialize in anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, sexual addiction (I am CSAT), job stress, relational distress, parenting issues and past abuse. I use various treatment methods including Behavioral therapy, CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and certified in the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) for trauma of various kinds.

All Maloy Therapeutic Clinicians are accepting new clients! I find that each individual knows when they are ready to live their life differently, for any number of reasons. I enjoy helping individuals find their way forward through an often bumpy path. Although I identify as a cognitive behavioral therapist, I attempt to meet each individual where they are at, assess their needs together, and forge a treatment plan that makes sense for their ultimate goals. We are partners together. Let's use humor, compassion, and practical strategies to create the best life we can!

I believe that every person has the right and ability to be happy in life, but that most people face obstacles at some point that makes happiness elusive. I have learned that no one better understands these obstacles and distressing emotions than those who are experiencing them. I, therefore, utilize a client-centered approach in therapy wherein I join the client in order to better appreciate his/her perspective and emotional state. I dedicate myself to my clients and helping them better define where they are in life and where they would like to go in the future.

I am a generalist in the provision of psychotherapy. The quality of the therapeutic relationship is essential to successful therapy outcomes. To that end I provide an authentic, empathic, honest, direct, but not directive, therapeutic presence. I am very responsive to patients' needs and requests. My integrative approach is molded to the needs of each patient. I present in an empathic, honest, open manner while utilizing client-centered and cognitive therapy orientations. I am well versed and trained in relaxation/stress management, and hypnotherapy techniques, and when indicated, with patient support, bring those interventions into the therapeutic process.
