I found her to be understanding and encouraging, not afraid to be truthful with me even when it was hard for me to receive her words. I enjoyed my time with her, and grew significantly.

I am a returning client of Dr. Allen’s. Dr. Allen encountered me during a season of homelessness, brokenness, and at a time where I just needed to talk. Dr. Allen immediately used her resources to help me find a safer and better place to stay. Even though I was not always in a place to listen, I was very grateful to know my options and that someone cared enough to do so. I highly recommend Dr. Allen especially if you are searching for someone who can identify with your Christian values and hold you accountable to victory we have by way of the word of G-d. I am just starting my journey to take care of mental health, I wish you well as you do the same. Peace & Blessings!

Dr. Allen has been an incredibly supportive counselor who is able to walk me through triggers that I am still figuring out. I have just started working with her but she has already provided insight for me as well as just allowed me to get things off my chest and mind. As someone new to counseling, I am grateful for her calm voice, confidence in helping me meet my goals, and willingness to walk me through the tough things.
