Local elected officials and their representatives joined the Los Alamitos Chamber of Commerce this week to cut the ribbon on the most recent location for the Alliant Couple and Family Clinic.
With mental health concerns having been dramatically enhanced in recent years, local officials were hopeful that the newest business in Los Alamitos can become a valuable resource for the community.
According to the company’s website, Alliant Couple and Family Clinic offers mental health services on a sliding fee scale to couples, individuals, families, and children. “We offer virtual therapy throughout California as well as in-person offices in San Diego and Long Beace, (which is located in Los Alamitos). Our team of pre-licensed therapists offer a variety of approaches to treat mental health issues while receiving clinical supervision from highly experienced therapists,” the company said.
Having an affiliation with Alliant International University, the company offers qualified counselors, many of whom were present for the ribbon cutting this week, including Clinic Director, Dan Nyirady, Tracy L. Helle, who holds a Ph.D. from the University Provost and serves as Executive VP for Academic Affairs, Dr. David Stewart, Dean of the California School of Professional Psychology, Manijeh Daneshpour, Ph.D., who is the systemwide Director for its CFT program (Couple and Family Therapy).
Daneshpour is said to have worked with Alliant International University to get the funding and approvals for the expansion. The university also operates a clinic in San Diego.
Alliant Couple and Family Clinic offers service fees on a sliding scale in order to accommodate all income levels.
“We specialize in individual, couple, family, and child therapy. Our team of pre-licensed therapists offer a variety of approaches to treat mental health issues while receiving clinical supervision from highly experienced therapists,” they said.
Their San Diego therapists specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is a highly effective and research-supported model used to address challenges in relationships, love, connection, and intimacy.
“Are you longing for love and connection, but instead you: Have recurring fights without resolution? Feel disrespected and alone? Experience a lack of affection, intimacy, or sex? Feel untrusted, un-trusting, or betrayed? If so, EFT may be exactly the help you need,” the clinic claims on its site.
“With EFT, you can: Rebuild safety and trust. Receive more caring and respect. Resolve conflicts with love. Our team of caring, committed and compassionate therapists are here to help and support you in your therapeutic goals,” the company says on its website.
Los Al Chamber Co-Chair Meryl Cohn was present along with other Chamber officials to cut the ribbon for Alliant as she welcomed the mental health clinic to the Chamber and to the community.
