      <image:title>About Alan Moreland - Alan Moreland, LMFT, CSAT-Supervisor, CMAT, EMDR Certified, ERCEM Trained Owner/Therapist - Life Balance Counseling Peoria, PLLC</image:title>
      <image:caption>For well over a decade, Alan has been a Licensed Marriage &amp; Family Therapist, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), a Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist (CMAT)-Financial Disorders (Including Work Addiction, Gambling Addiction). Never one to rest on his laurels and consistently adding to his therapeutic tool kit, he completed the Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist training with Bonnie DenDooven in the Summer of 2017 and again with Deb Kaplan in Fall 2020.  To further focus specifically on Gambling issues, Alan completed the Problem Gambling Basic Training offered by the Illinois Council for Problem Gambling in the Fall of 2022. And completed supervision and Certification with the International Problem Gambling &amp; Gaming Certification Organization (IPGGC) and became an International Certified Gambling Counselor in the Spring 2025. He completed the Certified Multiple Addiction Therapist training with Hilarie Cash, pioneer in the field of recovery from technology addictions in the Fall of 2023 focused on Internet Technology, &amp; Gaming addiction. During CSAT training, Alan was convicted of his lack of tools to treat the underlying trauma of addiction and completed EMDR basic training in 2012, eventually becoming EMDR Certified in 2023. Alan specializes in treating process addiction, especially sexual addiction, intimacy disorders, and betrayal trauma. He has over two decades of experience working with individuals, groups, couples, and families in the field of addiction treatment both with chemical (alcohol &amp; drugs) and process addictions (sex &amp; love addiction, pornography addiction, internet addiction, gambling addiction, spending/shopping addiction). Likewise, he completed training to become a Preferred Provider for Adult Enmeshment through Dr. Kenneth M. Adams’ Overcoming Enmeshment site. Additionally last year, in order to help sex addicts and their betrayed spouses kick the healing process into high gear as soon as possible, Alan (and several other Life Balance therapists) completed Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM) Training with Carol Jurgenson Sheets. Last year Alan has accomplished a long awaited goal of becoming a CSAT-Supervisor. Alan brings a unique passion and authenticity to his life’s work to assist sex addicts and their partners navigate the traumatic devastation of betrayal after the discovery of addiction, the difficulties of early recovery, the demanding work towards relational stability, and ultimately restoration of health, harmony, integrity, and joy in life for those suffering from addiction. It is his ardent desire to give addicts and their distressed families the highest quality and best available care in a nurturing, safe, &amp; healing environment. Alan’s work is grounded in evidenced-based practices. As a Certifed Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), He completed arduous and demanding training through the International Institute of Trauma and Addcition Professionals (IITAP) with cutting-edge leaders in the addiction treatment field to learn to utilize the task-centered approach researched and developed by Patrick Carnes, Ph.D., a pioneer in the field sex addiction treatment. The state-of-the-art CSAT certification is quickly becoming an industry standard for addiction professionals. Additionally, Alan has attained the level of Certification in EMDR, which helps people rapidly process through the trauma that so commonly coexists with addiction. EMDR is an evidenced-based practice now accepted as a treatment of choice by numerous trauma organizations. The Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs Practice Guidelines have placed EMDR in their highest category, recommended for all trauma populations at all times. The American Psychiatric Association Practice Guideline (2004) has stated that EMDR is recommended as first-line treatment of trauma.  Likewise, the national registry (NREPP) of The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cites EMDR as evidence-based practice for treatment of PTSD, anxiety and depression symptoms, leading to an improvement in overall mental health functioning. EMDR has a broad base of published case reports and controlled research that supports it as an empirically validated treatment of trauma. EMDR allows individuals to rapidly process through and heal from the symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences. EMDR is designed to reduce trauma-related stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to improve overall mental health functioning. More personally, Alan grew up in a small, tight-knit, rural town in furthest-most Southern Illinois. After graduating from a Christian liberal arts school, Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas with a bachelors degree in Missions, he opted to pursue a career in the corporate world in Memphis, Tennessee. After many productive, but personally unfulfilling, years in both the shipping/logistics and pharmaceutical fields, Alan decided to go back to graduate school and to pursue his passion to make a difference in the lives of suffering people. For several years during graduate school, he gained experience in addictions working as a counselor in a well-respected Memphis treatment center, Memphis Recovery Center (MRC) with both adults and adolescents and their families. After graduate school, he moved to Central Illinois to be with the love of his life. He opened up his private practice a decade ago, and started his group practice during the COVID pandemic in 2020.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Leslie "Les" Perera - Leslie “Les” Perera, AMFT, ASAT, EMDR, ERCEM-Trained, CFRA Therapist - Life Balance Counseling Peoria, PLLC</image:title>
      <image:caption>Les Perera is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Associate Sex Addiction Therapist (ASAT), EMDR-trained, and a (CRFA) Certified First Responder Associate therapist who specializes in trauma and addiction. He earned his Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. As a veteran himself, Les combines his military experience with professional training in marriage and family therapy, trauma treatment, and addiction recovery. He provides trauma-informed, evidence-based care using approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other therapeutic methods to help clients process trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and develop resilience. He has completed specialized training in Carol Sheets’ Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM), an approach designed to help individuals struggling with sex addiction develop empathy for their betrayed partners early in the recovery process. Before entering the mental health field, Les served 20 years in the United States Navy after enlisting in 1986. During his military career, he served aboard ships and submarines as a sonar technician before retiring from active duty in 2006. Following his service, Les continued supporting the veteran community by volunteering with veterans’ organizations, where he witnessed firsthand the psychological toll that military service and high-stress professions can take. The loss of fellow veterans to suicide profoundly impacted Les and ultimately inspired him to return to school in his late 50s to become a therapist so he could better support those who serve. As a veteran himself, Les understands the culture of stoicism, self-reliance, and strength that often makes it difficult for veterans and first responders to seek therapy. He recognizes the hesitation many feel about opening up and works to create a safe, respectful environment where clients can begin that process at their own pace. Les works closely with veterans, first responders, and individuals struggling with trauma, addiction, and PTSD. He is also a vetted provider through the 100 Club of Illinois Frontline Resource Network, further reflecting his commitment to providing knowledgeable, culturally informed care to first responders and those who serve their communities. He understands If you are experiencing overwhelming memories, nightmares, flashbacks, or are coping with emotional pain through addictive behaviors. Les provides a supportive space to begin the healing process. He understands the feelings of isolation, guilt, loss, and shame that can accompany trauma and works collaboratively with clients to help them move toward recovery. Having walked his own healing journey with PTSD, Les brings both professional training and personal understanding to his work. He is passionate about helping veterans, their partners, and their families heal from trauma, reconnect in their relationships, and rebuild a meaningful life where trauma no longer defines their future.

      <image:caption>Therapist - Life Balance Counseling Peoria, PLLC Tonya earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bradley University in 2003 after graduating from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor’s in Psychology in 1993, a decade earlier. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and has over a decade of experience working with addiction. Tonya decided to pursue her Masters after realizing she needed to make some major life changes after becoming a single Mom when “life didn’t work out as planned.” After graduating from Bradley, Tonya jokes that she was dragged “kicking and screaming” into the addiction recovery field and then quickly feel in love with working with people suffering from addictions. During those years of experience she developed and fine-tuned the gift of balancing compassion for people suffering from various addictions with seeing through their denial, self-deception, and delusional thinking and helping them to do the same. Throughout her career, she has received specialized training to treat both alcohol, drug and process addictions, like sexual addiction and gambling addiction. Growing up in poverty in the South End of Peoria, graduating from Manual High School, and then going to Northern Illinois University, Tonya has a high cultural competency as she can effectively interact, work, and develop meaningful relationships with people from a wide variety of cultural, social, and socio-economic backgrounds. Having faced the rigors of growing up poor and building a different life for herself and her family, Tonya understands the issues and obstacles people are up against in building a different life for themselves and their families. So, whether it’s addictions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or just general life transitions, Tonya is here to help you become your authentic, true self, whoever that may be.
