We’re advocates for your mental health and wholeness.​

Alliance provides a range of mental health services to individuals from all cultures and backgrounds. We believe there are no one-size-fits-all solutions in healthcare, so we focus on providing person-centered and culturally relevant care. We accept all major insurances except for medicare.

Some of our focuses include:

Tailored Support for Diverse Needs

Alliance Health Care recognizes that mental health needs are deeply individualized. We offer a diverse range of mental health services tailored to specific age groups, diverse backgrounds, and unique challenges such as trauma or life transitions. By providing specialized therapies, Alliance ensures individuals receive personalized support that resonates with your unique experiences.

Inclusive and Accessible Care

Mental health care should be inclusive and accessible to everyone. Alliance's acceptance of major insurances and provision of services in multiple settings (in-home, in-office, and via telehealth) aim to break barriers to access. By offering Community-Based Mental Health Services and outreach to LGBTQIA+ individuals, Alliance fosters an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and understood.

Comprehensive Support

Alliance Health Care doesn't just stop at therapy sessions. We provide a continuum of care through services like ARMHS, CTSS, and Peer Support, offering ongoing support and skill-building sessions tailored to various age groups. This comprehensive approach ensures individuals not only receive immediate help but also gain tools and resources to navigate their mental health journey effectively.
