I mainly focus on CBT and
DBT
strategies with my clients.
Are you wanting to look at your problems from a deeper level, to learn how to evaluate them in ways that could be life changing? Are you ready to take a journey through introspection and honest evaluation and not be judged, but guided through the process? Are you ready to feel confident and have a sense of self-esteem for navigating through these tough issues? Are you ready to holistically go through the aspects of your life that are keeping you from knowing yourself and stagnating personal growth and progress? Then I might be a good fit for you.

I’m certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (for PTSD/trauma) trained in
DBT
, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and Internal Family Systems (parts work).
It takes courage to be radically honest and through self awareness lies the path to healing. I create a safe and non judgmental space so you can explore past trauma, grief and loss, anxiety stressors, and negative thought patterns. You may already be aware of self defeating behaviors but unable to stop or change. I will guide you through useful techniques you will be able to use for the rest of your life and I will gently push you to step out of your comfort zone each session. We'll explore questions like: What do you want most out of life? What thoughts and behaviors are holding you back from creating the relationships you want?

Addiction also known as the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It takes your money, kills dreams, and destroys relationships and you are tired of it. You want your life back by way of reuniting with loved ones, fulfilling your dreams and God-given purpose, and having enough money for shelter, food, clothing, and transportation. Substance use has taken me further than I wanted to go because I did not count the cost. Prayer upon request.

My approach to counseling closely mirrors my view of life: there is no one-size-fits-all answer. I use a multifaceted approach to counseling, pulling from the core theoretical approaches of CBT, Person-Centered, and
DBT
. I believe that as humans, we were created for connection with others. We all experience unexpected circumstances that make life challenging, and attempting to balance life's challenges on our own can be confusing and frustrating. I focus on helping my clients discover their self-worth and core values in order to help them build a life they are proud of.

The best part of being a therapist is being able to walk with a person as they explore their own personal growth and get through some of the most challenging parts of their life. I have the pleasure of helping by educating with tools and strategies that can be helpful along the way. I enjoy working with individuals as they learn to be their best selves and operate in the world they currently live in regardless of what that looks like.

Hi! Welcome to Becca Allen Counseling. Are you struggling finding it hard to relax, being overly cautious, hyper detail focused or perfectionistic? Do you often have chronic treatment resistant anxiety and or depression? You might be over controlled. What is overcontrol you ask? Overcontrol or OC is having too much self control. Too much of anything can be problematic. Self-control is the ability to inhibit urges, impulses, behaviors, or desires to delay gratification in order to pursue a long term goal. Self control is often associated with success and happiness.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
DBT is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
