I have been a counselor and clinical supervisor for 15 years and have had the honor of facilitating group alongside of Alea, and I consider her to be one of the best in the business. I have seen Alea’s own personal experience and empathetic nature help others in their own journey of recovery, and clients always respond well to her displays of positivity, spirituality, and dedication, which significantly contributes to a positive group environment and experience.

Her assertiveness, intelligence, and compassion are always profoundly visible in her interactions with group members, and her deep understanding of addiction, relapse prevention, and goal setting, along with her empathy for others, has made her an extremely gifted group facilitator. Her positive influence on clients, and the ability to elicit positive responses from them during groups further affirms her talents.

Alea uses expert communication skills to educate about the disease aspect of addiction and its negative consequences, and seeks to cultivate resilience, self-esteem, and self-efficacy through her group facilitation, which aligns with the broader therapeutic objective of promoting mental health stability while enhancing life satisfaction
