Alan Moreland

With over a decade of experience as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Alan Moreland brings a unique blend of expertise to his practice, specializing in the complex realm of sexual addiction, intimacy disorders, and betrayal trauma. As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and EMDR Certified Therapist, Alan offers a comprehensive approach to healing that addresses both the immediate challenges of addiction and the underlying trauma that often fuels destructive behaviors.

Alan's journey into the field of addiction treatment began after a successful career in the corporate world. Driven by a passion to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, he pursued graduate studies and gained valuable experience working at Memphis Recovery Center with both adults and adolescents. This diverse background allows Alan to bring a unique perspective to his therapy, combining practical life experience with cutting-edge therapeutic techniques.

At the core of Alan's practice is his commitment to evidence-based treatments. He has completed rigorous training through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP), mastering the task-centered approach developed by Dr. Patrick Carnes, a pioneer in sex addiction treatment. Additionally, Alan's certification in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy equips him with a powerful tool for helping clients process and heal from trauma rapidly.

Alan's expertise extends beyond individual therapy. He has completed specialized training in the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM), enabling him to guide couples through the challenging early stages of recovery from sex addiction. This holistic approach ensures that both individuals and relationships receive the support needed to heal and thrive.

In 2020, Alan expanded his impact by founding a group practice, Life Balance Counseling Peoria. This venture allows him to reach more individuals and families struggling with addiction and trauma, providing a nurturing and safe environment for healing. Alan's work is characterized by a deep commitment to giving addicts and their families the highest quality care available, always striving to restore health, harmony, integrity, and joy in their lives.
