About Alana
Hi, I’m Alana Borden, MSW, LCSW, and I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges while discovering their strengths, resilience, and ability to grow. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you should feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and emotional difficulties. My approach is compassionate and individualized, drawing from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT skills, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and Family Systems approaches. I believe that every person has a unique story, and my role is to create a safe space where you can explore your experiences, identify patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and build confidence in yourself. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, navigating change, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I will meet you where you are and support you toward meaningful change. My goal is for therapy to feel like a place where you can be authentic, gain new tools, and feel empowered to create the life you want. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
