Umeko Allen-Jones

My name is Umeko Allen, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a graduate of CSULB, and have 13 years of experience in the field. I specialize in working with BIPOC adults who have been underserved by the mental health field and struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, and unhealthy relationship patterns. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their healing journeys and believe everyone deserves the opportunity to connect with their true, authentic selves.

I take a person-centered, trauma-informed, holistic approach, viewing challenges through a decolonized, social justice-oriented lens. I address the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit by integrating techniques like EMDR, Brainspotting, mindfulness and other somatic practices with traditional modalities such as CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and etc. This comprehensive approach helps uncover and address root causes while encouraging whole-person healing.

During our sessions, I aim to create a supportive and empowering environment where you feel heard and understood. Together, we will collaborate to develop solutions tailored to your unique needs. You can expect to gain fresh perspectives, valuable insights, and practical tools to guide you on your journey. My hope is that you leave each session feeling more equipped, confident, and connected to your authentic self.
