Ali Pierucci is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a diverse background across the mental health field. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from Lewis and Clark College and completed her Master’s in Social Work in Washington, D.C. Her clinical journey has included work in community mental health centers, shelters, hospitals, treatment programs, rape crisis centers, and private practice—giving her a wide-ranging perspective on the systems and supports that shape mental wellness. Currently, she is working at Sanare PSR, a company she co-founded that provides psycho social rehabilitation for folks living with chronic persistent mental illness. Ali helps to supervise the staff while also working with individual clients who want individual trauma work in conjunction with community based PSR.

Ali is also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and trained in Brainspotting. She also has training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other trauma-informed modalities.

Ali believes deeply in the power of human connection as a foundation for healing. She is committed to helping clients strengthen their sense of agency and autonomy while addressing the psychosocial needs that can be obstacles to lasting wellness.

Originally from Connecticut, Ali has lived all over the country—from Portland, Oregon to Washington, D.C.—and brings a rich, multicultural lens to her work. When she’s not at Sanare, you can find her roller skating, traveling with her husband, sharing good food with friends, or getting lost in a great book.

Ali is currently licensed in Colorado and Indiana.
