I believe in individual, family and community. Counseling is to teach people new cognitive and emotional skills, helping to overcome trauma, guiding toward better relationships and transform you into better versions of yourselves. I believe in basic human dignity and worth, understanding, empathy, attention, acceptance and encouragement. I believe in having the therapeutic alliance to allow people to have feelings of trust and respect, and encourage the person to have independence and competence.

I serve couples and Individuals.
Couples, are you exhausted from the same arguments, the same distance, the same feeling that nothing ever really changes? Most people are not needing to be fixed — they are needing relief from relationship distress. What most couples are missing isn't willingness. It's the skills. No one teaches us what healthy communication actually looks like, and you can't do what you were never shown. In our work together, we don't get lost in what happened. We identify the dynamic that isn't working and build a new one — focused on repair, presence, and real connection.

Finding a good therapist is no easy task, especially online where your options seem as endless as your Netflix suggestions. The search can be daunting and exhausting - particularly when you're trying to just find someone who will understand and respect you. Being vulnerable with a stranger is scary and I applaud you for taking the first step in finding someone who can help you feel more "you". Therapy is not cookie-cutter or black and white. It can take time to find the right match, and I truly hope that I can be that for you!

My first experience was in the education field, particularly elementary school. As I was attempting to teach some children they had a difficult time since their family life was in crisis. This made me want to pursue a career in counseling children and their families. I love helping individuals and families grow as people. It brings satisfaction to me to see others succeed and change in their lives.

Our ideal client is open to a mind-body connection and seeks more than just traditional talk therapy. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress-related issues, and feel disconnected from their body, overwhelmed by life, or stuck in their healing journey. They might also be dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, or other physical symptoms that are linked to their emotional well-being. These clients are often motivated to explore non-traditional, holistic paths and are curious about how movement, mindfulness, and therapy can work together to support their mental and physical health.

I believe it is our deepest desire to know that even if we share our whole story, we’ll be seen, understood, and belong. However, instead we are often met with painful experiences that teach us to create masks and conceal our true feelings and desires. Have you been criticized or rejected? Maybe you’ve been made to feel insignificant and small. Or perhaps, like me, you were taught that you should be perfect and never show weakness, but now feel trapped by these lessons. In both my life and practice, I strive to understand myself and remove my masks by living authentically; I want to join you on your journey and help you do the same.

“You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. Sometimes healing starts with simply being willing to try.”
Hi, I’m Carolyn Allen, LCSW, and I’m so glad you’re here. My ideal client is someone who is high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside. They may be struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, trauma, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck despite their best efforts. They’re used to carrying a lot—responsibilities, expectations, and emotions—and often feel like they have to “hold it all together” for everyone else. Deep down, they are looking for Personal growth and meaningful change.
