About me

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals and couples through life's most complex challenges. I work with clients navigating relationship dynamics, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, ADHD, and neurodivergence. I'm particularly passionate about affirming and supporting LGBTQ+ clients.

My clinical focus spans communication patterns, life purpose, forgiveness, posttraumatic stress, divorce and separation, mood disorders, women's issues, pregnancy and childbirth, sexuality, sexual assault and abuse recovery, sex addiction, domestic violence, blended family dynamics, alternative relationship structures, autism and Asperger's syndrome, adoption and foster care, fertility concerns, HIV and AIDS-related issues, and infidelity.

I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your authentic self and heal at your own pace. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, drawing on evidence-based practices to support meaningful change. I honor the intersectionality of your identity and experiences, recognizing that each person brings unique strengths and perspectives to our work together.

Whether you're processing past trauma, strengthening relationships, or discovering your life's direction, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and genuine care. Taking the step to seek therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your journey.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Allison Kent. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Allison has helped me develop insight in order to change unhealthy patterns. She also makes it easy to open up and share my deficiencies so I can fix my issues.
