Marissa Allen

I became a therapist because I have always loved holding space for folks. I recognize how transformative therapy is, even when things are fine. Everyone deserves a space to show up as they are.

I specialize in working with folks who are depressed, anxious, or just not feeling like themselves. This also includes people who have a hard time setting boundaries, feeling confident, or dealing with major life transitions. I have worked with adolescents, adults, college students, and queer identified.

My mission is to create a therapeutic space that is safe, inclusive, empathetic, and supportive for all. I utilize trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients work through how their thoughts and feelings affect their behavior and how their behavior may impact their thoughts and feelings. It's all connected! We will work collaboratively to make connections, replace negative thinking patterns, regulate emotions, and practice self care and boundary setting.

You can expect to feel valued, seen, and empowered working with me. You can also expect that I will challenge you gently when necessary. With trust in yourself and me, you can be a healthier you.
