Ali approaches treatment from a trauma-informed psychodynamic systems perspective, specifically conceptualizing work based on individual, relational, and sociocultural factors significant to their lives and contexts. The elements of psychodynamic treatment that Ali follows consist of enhancing clients' knowledge and insight, utilizing empathy to provide new experiences for various individual needs and deficits in clients' lives, and lastly, building rapport with clients and authentically engaging in the therapeutic relationship. Ali employs this treatment model because it validates clients' current experiences and unique realities, which their perceptions and experiences have shaped. This way of treatment fosters an authentic therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist, enhancing its effectiveness. Regarding trauma, Ali's conceptualization of clients' lives is informed by the Adaptive Information Processing model, which posits that the present impairment often results from experiences that were processed or unprocessed in maladaptive ways. Ali has a particular clinical interest in working with clients experiencing attachment and trauma-related issues. She is also interested in providing a variety of psychological assessments to supplement clinical observations and understanding of the whole person.
