Frank Allen

I work with adults, couples, and families, on a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, poor self image, relationship issues, and trauma. My approach is engaged and interactive, directly focusing on the difficulties that you are facing. Reconnecting with your true self and healing and strengthening your relationships are key elements of our work together. I am a caring and attentive listener and dedicate myself to helping you achieve optimal contentment and peace of mind. My therapeutic approach includes aspects of DBT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, Buddhist psychology, and EFT couples and family therapy.

Areas of particular focus are: resolving patterns of self-criticism, self-blame and destructive emotion that contribute to poor self-image, anxiety, and depression; fostering psychological, emotional and spiritual growth through a mindfulness-based approach; and relationship work, including family and couples therapy.

Life is a series of challenges that tax our resources; cognitive, emotional, physical, spiritual and logistical. They also provide the opportunity for growth and self development that lead to greater contentment, ease and clarity. I am here to support your own innate resilience, strength, and intelligence as we work together to help you grow, heal and thrive.
