More about Alana
- 24 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in the Inland Empire area of Southern California. I have 24 years of professional work experience that includes hospital work, community mental health and faith-based settings, as well as my own private practice. I use a variety of treatment modalities including Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Narrative, and Strength-Based. I am also trained in the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), considered by many mental health professionals to be the most effective approach toward treatment trauma at this time.
My approach to the therapeutic relationship is a combination of sensitivity, respect, and curiosity coupled with genuine care for the worth of each individual. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My overall goal with each of my clients is to assist them in gaining clarity in what they feel is not working in their life, discovering the path that is right for them, and learning the best way to walk in that path consistently. I believe this is the key to be able to live out your life in a way that will produce peace, satisfaction, contentment, and happiness. My style in the therapeutic relationship is one of warmth, friendliness, and compassion, along with truth and grace in your most difficult moments. There are times I might have to challenge you and there are times I may have to tell you a truth that is hard to hear. But if that should be the case, please be assured that I will handle that with kindness, sensitivity, and respect. I will also include positive suggestions for alternative, more healthy behaviors.
It is no small endeavor to decide to change your life and move forward toward wholeness and happiness. It takes a great deal of hard work, courage, insight, and the willingness to change what is not working for you. But you can succeed and you don't have to walk through the process alone. As a former therapist said to me once, "Your past is not your destiny unless you want it to be." You can start right where you are and turn yourself into the person you want to become. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I look forward to our journey together!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
