“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.”
