Alanna Masony, BBH-LCSW-LIC-81224

“I believe in meeting people exactly where they are and walking alongside them as they navigate self-discovery, healing, and learning to make space for themselves in daily life. In my view therapy is not only a place for growth and transformation, but also a space where we can laugh, cry, celebrate victories, vent about life’s frustrations, and hold everything in between.”

Alanna Masony’s therapeutic approach is rooted in a relational model that emphasizes authenticity, trust, and genuine connection. Alanna has interest in using aspects of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore their inner world with compassion and cultivate a more integrated and aligned sense of self. She also has an interest in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to equip clients with practical, in-the-moment tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Alanna incorporates creative and experiential tools such as art activities, journaling, and gentle movement – depending on what best supports each individual’s process. She is engaged in ongoing training for attachment-focused EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples (EFT), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

Alanna’s experience involves supporting individuals with mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, trauma, identity exploration, navigating recovery, suicidal ideation, and attachment-based challenges. Alanna works with individuals ages 13 and older, as well as couples. 

Alanna Masony received her Master of Social Work Degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and has worked in the social services and mental health field for the past five years, including community-based outreach and helping to grow a women-owned holistic private practice in Florida. She is delighted to set down roots now in Missoula, where outside the therapeutic space she can be found exploring her new home – painting, reading, and finding moments of stillness in practicing yoga.
