Alana Gordon is a licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma specialist, and passionate advocate for healing, recovery, and personal transformation. She is the clinical director and owner of Choose Recovery Services, where she has dedicated her work to helping individuals and couples navigate the complex realities of betrayal trauma, problematic sexual behavior, attachment injuries, and relational healing.
As President of the Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), Alana is committed to advancing trauma-informed, partner-sensitive approaches to recovery and strengthening the professional standards of care for individuals and families impacted by sexual addiction and betrayal.
Her clinical approach integrates traditional psychotherapy with somatic and experiential modalities, including Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems–informed work, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation.
Through her clinical work, global retreats, monthly intensives, and her podcast Choose To Be: Healing From Betrayal Trauma, Alana encourages people to move beyond simply managing symptoms or surviving their past and toward lives rooted in integrity, connection, purpose, and authentic freedom.
At the heart of her work is a simple belief: Trauma is part of your story, not your identity. You were made for more than survival. The goal isn't just to heal. It's to fully live.
