NO INSURANCE ACCEPTED. Things can easily get overwhelming. Before you know it, everything seems to fall apart. You try each day to get things back on track, to worry less, to force on a smile but nothing works. Other people may seem bothered by you or maybe you can't stand being around people anymore. Either way, your relationships are hurting and so are you. Nothing feels like it used to. Therapy can help you try to get back to your normal self, maybe even better than before.

Psychoeducational testing can empower learners, parents, teachers and other individuals to make informed decisions by identifying and examining academic, cognitive, behavioral and social/emotional strengths and weaknesses. I have 21 years experience in assessing individuals to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, intellectual disorders and intellectual giftedness and offering research-based recommendations for appropriate instruction and interventions. For high school, college students, and other individuals, I provide assessments to determine the need for accommodations on high stakes tests, in the classroom or in the work place. I also offer ADHD Coaching to adults who are interested in developing better organizational and goal-setting skills.

As a therapist, I offer a tailored approach to help you work towards your goals. I strive to create a space of empathy, understanding, and inclusivity to assist you in working towards your goals. I believe that you are capable of creating the life you want, and I am here to help you deal with the things that prevent you from doing that. My clinical interests include those struggling with depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, identity issues, trauma, self-esteem, and disordered eating as well as those struggling with interpersonal and relationship issues.

The way we feel, act, or react is not fully determined by external factors- regardless of the circumstances we are in, but also by our outlook on life and perspective toward specific situations. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is provided in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I strive to support and assist clients on their journeys to create meaning in their lives, change or replace patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer working for them, develop greater self-awareness and deepen their relationships.

I feel privileged when a distressed family, couple, or individual allows me to accompany and guide them through their healing journeys. My clients include children (age 8-18) and adults who are dealing with issues such as anticipatory or post-death grief, difficulty adjusting to life transitions (including but not limited to adolescence, launching of children, empty nest, job loss), depression, stress or anxiety, traumatic stress, couple problems, divorce, blended or adoptive family adjustment, and adult survival from childhood sexual abuse.

I work with adults and couples, as well as with children and teens. During my 30 years of practice, I have found the most effective therapies are practical, easy to understand, and focused on reaching your goals. It is my privilege to offer you my expertise along with a nonjudgmental attitude, compassion, and a sense of humor. I tend to have a directive style, in a solution focused approach to issues.

My goal is to provide compassionate counseling services, working in collaboration with you to help you meet your goals and assist you in the healing process. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, violence and assault, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self harm, pervasive illnesses, parenting challenges, and sexuality or gender identity struggles. My background includes victim advocacy and outreach, clinical crisis counseling, animal assisted therapy, and human sexuality education. Taking the first step to reach out for help is not only brave, but will be incredibly rewarding.

Within each one of us is the strength to change, the ability to become the ideal self we imagine. However, the challenges we face can make accessing that strength difficult and obscure our vision of that person we want to become. My goal in therapy is to help you tap into your own unique abilities to tackle whatever struggles you are facing. The foundation of my counseling style is one of empathy, warmth, and acceptance. I combine this with practical techniques based on principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to utilize in your day-to-day life.

I am interested in learning about why you are seeking therapy and how I can help.I work with children,adolescents, adults, groups and families with varied backgrounds.

When depression or anxiety take over and loneliness sets in, it is understandable to feel hopeless. Sometimes even relationships can lead to unhappiness. In therapy we will work to address these issues. Therapy is a journey of learning about your past and present self. This self-exploration helps open the doors to a fulfilling and meaningful life. I work with clients to help them understand their strengths and struggles, which creates a platform to achieve their goals. In order to do that, I believe that the therapist-client relationship is a partnership and it is central to achieve significant progress.

The Therapeutic Couch is a culturally competent practice that strives to be fully present for Women of Color. We are a minority Black Female Therapist owned practice whose vision is to break the cycle of unhealthy relationships, thoughts & behaviors through integrative therapy techniques.

I enjoy working with people of all ages and believe in the importance of family. Helping people learn to overcome trauma and past hurts is critical to embracing and enjoying a full range of emotions and fully enjoying life's many gifts. Young children are particularly vulnerable and sometimes families need extra help learning how to effectively parent and understand what some of the young child's behaviors, such as tantruming, excessive crying, and aggressive behavior mean and how to best address the young child's needs. If you are experiencing anxiety, I have some effective tools for you.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I focus on building collaborative relationships with individuals, couples, and families to help them create more fulfilling lives. We all possess the necessary strengths to promote positive change. My role as a therapist is to draw out existing strengths and resources to help clients reach their full potential. I have over a decade of clinical experience with diverse clientele, and I am passionate about continuing to see clients from various backgrounds.

Reaching out for help is a big step and I acknowledge the courage in your efforts to find healing. It is my true belief that difficulties in life are inevitable, but suffering is optional; there is help. With a patient, warm, and empathetic ear, you will receive my undivided attention as I attempt to help you find your inner peace. The counseling environment is warm, collaborative, and designed to foster healing and growth. As your therapist, my entire focus would be to remain present with you as I express my genuine regard for your wellbeing.

Change is possible for everyone, regardless of your past doings and experiences. Within YOU lies the strength that can help you live your best life. As a therapist, I’ve helped many people who felt hopeless or stuck work through their struggles and access that inner strength. You have what it takes! Whether its anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, or life transitions, I’m confident that we can work one-on-one or in a group setting (family and friends can attend depending on the need).

In life we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are and what we want to achieve. These obstacles can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, or unresolved trauma. Gaining a better understanding of who we are is an important step in creating a sense of personal fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. I work with individuals to gain insight into the influence of not only past events, but also current patterns of beliefs, with a goal of reconciling past hurts, healing past trauma, and breaking the cycle of unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and reactions.

I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Florida and founder of Allen Psychological Services, LLC.

I work to provide my clients with a supportive space to explore and understand themselves in new ways. My primary aim is to understand your reasons for seeking therapy and to work with you to achieve the goals that you have for yourself through compassionate and effective therapeutic services.

There are times in life when it becomes difficult to overcome life challenges. Therapy can help assist individuals with overcoming obstacles that interfere with moving forward in life. I believe everyone is unique and deserves to have access to treatment centered around their individual needs.
