Dr. Allen is the first therapist that I’ve truly felt comfortable with. She’s an incredibly good listener and she helps me understand why I feel a certain type of way instead of trying to combat it and possibly ignore it. She provides lots of tools/tricks to help support a positive mindset and it has helped me tremendously.

Dr. Allen has been a great help. In the few sessions we have had, I have learned quite a bit and have been able to recognize things that I have missed in my daily life. She gives me another perspective that I had not noticed and this helps me to understand what I need to change. I would recommend her to anyone.
