I like to create an environment free of judgment and allow my clients to speak their minds without criticism. I use positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses on the client's internal strengths and resourcefulness rather than on their weaknesses, failures, & shortcomings. I provide telehealth and in-person services Monday through Thursday at Moorhead, MN. I utilize various evidence-based therapy approaches, including TF-CBT, DBT, and person-centered therapy, to treat multiple mental health problems and disorders, including depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, childhood trauma, relationship problems, stress, and trauma.

I enjoy working with people wherever they are in their mental health journey, and helping them process events and situations in their life. Ideal clients that I have worked with and hope to continue work with in the future are those are new to counseling and the therapeutic process and understanding that we might not finish their healing journey together, but helping set them up for more positive experiences in therapy with any future clinician. I also enjoy working with clients who may be hesitant to start therapy again after a negative past experience in therapy.

Dealing with overwhelming stress is terrible. How many times have you “not made the smart choice” to cope with anxiety, stress or sadness? How often do you say to yourself “I hate feelings”? Do you often think “what is wrong with me, I know that was a terrible idea. I don’t even know what I was thinking?”. Maybe you even wonder if you are beyond helping, or that you have no idea where to start. Well, you might not be able to change things happening in your life, but you can change how you adapt and view those stressors.

It is best to text me directly at 218-227-9512. Whether you were born with a condition, or have had an injury in the last year, living with a disability that causes ongoing pain can seem hopeless. If your pain is impacting your relationships with family and friends, you're not alone. If your conditions interfere with your ability to do ever day tasks, you are worthy. If the quality of your life feels at the mercy of others, you can find stability. If you are looking for someone who has experienced a similar path and has found a life worth living, start your therapy journey here.

While I feel comfortable and confident working with most people, I especially enjoy therapy with male-identifying folks, and parents of young children.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I bring over a decade of experience supporting clients of all ages - especially adolescents and young adults—on their journeys of self-discovery, healing, and growth. I use a trauma-informed approach, rooted in extensive training in attachment and trauma to provide a compassionate and safe space for exploration and change. With training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and years of experience conducting professional trainings, I integrate evidence-based practices with systems thinking to address individual and environmental influences on mental health.

My name is Allen and I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, or feeling connected to others I would like to help. Many of my clients come to me because they no longer want to feel the way they do and simply want to feel better, have less anxiety, and to be confident to live the life they want. Some seek me out to utilize EMDR as a way to overcome their struggles. No matter what you may be struggling with, A2Z is here to help you through those struggles. Give me a call and leaving a voicemail will ensure a return call, as I may be with another client.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
