Hi, my name is Gwen Allen; I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than ten years of psychotherapy experience, specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, family issues, issues of gender identity or sexual orientation, social dysfunction, and trauma. My goal is to support my clients through life's greatest challenges by providing new insights, skills, and emotional tools to help them make choices they're proud of and live a more authentic life. I provide individual therapy for adults and couples, using various evidence-based practices in treatment, primarily Dialectical Behavior Therapy to increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unwanted behaviors by shifting how you view yourself and the world around you. I am an experienced, compassionate, and empathic listener here to help you realize you are not alone. In your time of need, I provide a safe, professional environment to help you navigate life and practice positive coping skills. I aim to provide a fresh outlook for those seeking direction or change in their lives and establish a solid foundation to deal with the daily struggles of life.
