Alana Woods, LCSW 🌻
Hi! I’m Alana Woods 👋 a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. I believe therapy should feel supportive, genuine, and comfortable. I genuinely love helping people untangle life’s messier moments.
My approach is to focus on your needs and strengths throughout the process. I believe in collaboration and building a strong therapeutic relationship because therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and understood. I truly believe that you already have the tools and strengths within you, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, families, and couples. I have significant experience in areas related to trauma, attachment, family and relational dynamics, and increasing feelings of self-esteem and wellbeing.
I’m currently trained in Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). I also am experienced in using cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy, the Gottman Method, art therapy, and play therapy techniques.
I believe you are the expert of your own story. It takes courage to want something different and to take that first step toward change. I’ll be right there with you, reminding you that you don’t have to do this alone (and that it’s okay to laugh occasionally, even in therapy).
