MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS & THEIR FAMILIES
A Place to Set the Weight Down
You spend your days carrying responsibility, managing stress, and showing up for everyone else. Frontline Wellness is a place to
put some of that weight down. Therapy is built around your experiences and goals, equipping you to show up well both at home and on the job.

Hi, I’m Alana Trevino
“I welcome your stress, your anger, your dark humor, and I can't wait for you to see your potential.”
I’m a mental health clinician specializing in supporting current and former first responders and their families. With both professional expertise and a personal connection to the first responder community, I understand the unique stress, trauma, and cumulative impact these careers can have on individuals and their loved ones.
HOW I WORK
A Practice Built Around You
I work primarily with current and former first responders, their spouses and families, and people in other high-stress professions. You don’t need a diagnosis or have to reach a breaking point to benefit from therapy. Whether you know exactly what brought you in or simply don’t feel like yourself anymore, we can start there and work together to build insight, skills, and resilience.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed. I draw from EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based approaches based on your needs. Our work may involve processing trauma, navigating relationships and boundaries, strengthening emotional regulation, or addressing patterns that have become difficult to break.
Education & Credentials
I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation (LISW-S) and an EMDRIA Certified Therapist. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Bowling Green State University and my Master of Social Work from the University of Toledo.
I've pursued specialized training in first responder mental health and continue to build relationships with police and fire departments throughout Northwest Ohio. Staying connected to the people doing this work is an important part of understanding the culture and providing care that actually fits.

“If you’re ready to invest in yourself and you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, I applaud your bravery in taking this first step. I welcome your stress, your anger, your dark humor, and I can’t wait for you to see your potential.”
