Hello, and welcome! My name is Tierra Allen and I’m a licensed therapist with over nine years of experience in the field of Social Work, having transitioned into therapy in 2020. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges and develop healthier ways to cope. I specialize in working with men, women and teen girls, helping them regulate emotions, build resilience, and respond to stress in ways that promote growth and emotional well-being. My practice currently serves teens and adults. If you or your teen is struggling with overwhelming feelings or challenges in life, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and finding peace amidst the chaos with a healthy RESET.
Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.
Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —
They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.
Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.
I specialize in:
People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.
If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.
