“Simply put, working together with Joy and Dia and their team at Alegria Collaborative to help patients has been among the most rewarding experiences of my career. The outcomes we've had on shared cases often verge on miraculous, even in situations that other teams had considered impossible. These have ranged widely from individuals with extreme cases of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder that are now re-engaged in work, school, and relationships; creative professionals more productive than ever after struggling with depression and artistic blocks; people with severe ADHD now able to organize productively; and chronic addicts finally living sober, fulfilling, even joyful lives.

The skill, experience, creativity, dedication, integrity, and compassion that Alegria brings to their work is unparalleled. They just understand people in a way I've rarely seen, have a vast network of resources and connections, and are able to custom-tailor treatment teams that fit each client's needs perfectly. Their clinical coordination meetings are incredibly thoughtful and thorough, and I often learn new approaches from them. Equally important is the warmth, empathy, enthusiasm, and sparkle that Joy and Dia embody -- they are able to build trust and remarkably strong therapeutic relationships with clients and families.”

“Joy has been such a wonderful gift in my life. Since day one, she has been instrumental in my sobriety and well being. Although it has been many years since she was my companion and coach, her influence and role in my life is still just as prominent. To say she cares about her clients is an understatement and I am lucky to have experienced it first hand. She is instinctually nurturing and thoughtful, always placing others needs above hers. Her guidance, wisdom and care have made a huge impact on my life and I will be forever grateful. On top of that, she has incredible resources and connections both inside and outside of the sober community for anything that doesn’t fall within her scope of work. This has been extremely helpful throughout my journey and she has never led me in the wrong direction. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about her and her capabilities. Joy leads by example, handles all situations with grace and loves unconditionally. She is truly the gift that keeps on giving.”
