Clinical Services


Albany Health Management Associates is a private organization of licensed psychotherapists established to:

  • Create a respectful and safe environment in which the patient becomes an equal partner with the practitioner in managing his or her health
  • Offer an inclusive, integrative approach to chronic illness and trauma which considers the patient in his or her social and cultural environment
  • Expand an integrative philosophy of treatment to the professional and lay community and effect health care policy changes reflective of this approach.

AHMA works with chronically ill and traumatized individuals, couples, families and groups. AHMA serves the needs of patients dealing with chronic illness and trauma in their everyday lives. Patients come from around the country for assessment, healthcare coordination, and therapy from our clinic's treatment team. Services are based on the Fennell Four Phase Treatment (FFPT)™ (Crisis, Stabilization, Resolution and Integration) and embrace the individual as an integration of body, mind and spirit within a social environment.

The therapist enters into a partnership with the patients, helping them map out their own life journeys and manage their health. Individuals suffering from symptoms such as sleeplessness, depression, pain, fatigue, interpersonal difficulties, feelings of being overwhelmed, or any of the symptoms frequently affecting those both physically and emotionally compromised, can find help at AHMA.
