Dr. Allen is the first therapist that I’ve truly felt comfortable with. She’s an incredibly good listener and she helps me understand why I feel a certain type of way instead of trying to combat it and possibly ignore it. She provides lots of tools/tricks to help support a positive mindset and it has helped me tremendously.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Hello Dr. Allen I thank God for you and speaking the truth. You are truly heaven sent. An excellent therapist that liste.. May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe all the days of your life.
I've done counseling for several years and with different counselors. I've never had this level of connection with a counselor previously nor benefited so much in a short period of time. I now believe that I wasn't paired properly with some past counselors. Dr. Allen treats me with respect and as an intelligent person while providing meaningful guidance in a compassionate way. I feel truly blessed to have found her.
Dr Allen is personable and truly listens to give you the best service for your needs. I’ve learned so much from her in a short period of time and implementing her suggested strategies have made pivotal changes to my life . I highly recommend Dr Allen’s services.
So far I love speaking with Dr. Allen I feel like she understands me especially when I feel like no one understands me. She really helps me feel better and understand situations i'm going through. I highly recommend her!
Dr. Allen has been a great help. In the few sessions we have had, I have learned quite a bit and have been able to recognize things that I have missed in my daily life. She gives me another perspective that I had not noticed and this helps me to understand what I need to change. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Allen has been incredible in helping me see things through a different lens in just a few sessions. As someone who previously thought negatively of therapy, Dr. Allen has proved me wrong and I even now look forward to each session. She’s the best!
After my first session, I feel a sense of relief.
I’m very satisfied at this point with Dr. Allen’s help!
