Dr. Vince Allen

As a Black man, I understand the specific pressures we carry, the ones that we handle alone and don't always show. As a therapist, I help Black men work through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and the expectation to act like everything is fine when it isn't. Black men are not a monolith, and my work reflects that. I've worked with active duty military, veterans, clergy and people of faith, college students, the LGBTQIA+ community, and men living with HIV/AIDS. I built Brother2Brother Therapy Services because I saw a need for mental health care built for Black men. A space where there's no performing and no code-switching. Just honest conversation, brother to brother.

I believe that therapy is the process of unlearning, not fixing, because you were never broken. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy to help you unlearn the beliefs and ways of thinking that limit you from creating the life you want for yourself. My approach is also strengths-based: we build on what's already working in your life instead of focusing solely on what is not going well. Black men deserve freedom, and I believe therapy can be the gateway to it.

My role is to help you close the gap between the life you have and the life you want. In our first session, we'll get honest about what's actually going on and where you have been struggling. From there, we build a plan grounded in real, sustainable tools you can use in your everyday life. The goal is to help you move differently, going from the man you are to the man you've always wanted to be.
