I am a New Jersey native who transplanted to Florida after learning I only wanted snow on vacations. I have a relaxed approach to therapy and believe that the client should feel comfortable with a therapist in order to discuss uncomfortable topics. I like to use humor and real world examples in therapy sessions. I am an advocate at heart and will encourage personal, professional, and relational growth. The world is a tough place, let's tackle it together.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from UNF. My professional experience includes Case Management for Adults with long-term mental illness, specialized investigations with Department of Children and Families, residential substance abuse treatment for adolescents, University counseling, and counseling specifically for individuals with special needs. I currently own TSI Health, which I started in 2015. TSI Health provides behavioral and mental health services for children, adolescents, and families with varying emotional, behavioral, and psychological disorders within the foster care system.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Joanna Ale. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Ale is amazing! I have tried counseling before and this is the only one that works!
