Ali practices from a strengths-based, person in environment approach. She emphasizes the importance and power of cognitions, as well as the mind-body relationship. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as other complimentary modalities that may be helpful for the client, she seeks to support clients with compassion through any challenge they may be enduring or healing from. Her goal is to support patient’s in self-realization and acceptance while building on their unique strengths that contribute to their resiliency. ​
