I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in treating codependency, chronic stress, attachment issues, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, and trauma. My approach to therapy is both honest and direct, while being gentle and understanding. I am motivated to work with others on their journey to becoming their best and most authentic selves. I use evidence-based therapies, such as REBT, CBT, DBT and mindfulness techniques. My counseling/therapeutic approach is culturally-competent and welcoming to all populations and lifestyles.
I'm Dr. Kirsten Allen, a Sport and Performance Psychologist and former collegiate swimmer passionate about helping high performers thrive—on and off the field. At Collaborative Minds Performance Psychology, I work with high-achieving, college student-athletes to optimize performance and cultivate a more intentional, fulfilling life—grounded in science, collaboration, and growth. I’m energized by seeing others thrive. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based methods—drawing from ACT, mindfulness, CBT, and strengths-based, solution-focused practices tailored to each client’s goals. In our first sessions, we’ll get clear on your goals and create a plan that feels both focused and supportive. Together, we’ll uncover practical tools you can start using right away to handle challenges with more ease. Many clients find meaningful progress within anywhere from 3 to 12 sessions, with the option to continue at a pace that fits their needs.
In my clinical work, I thoroughly enjoy getting to know clients and their families. The most important aspect is to provide a safe and comfortable environment so clients can form a trusting, open, honest relationship in order to facilitate change. On my end, that requires relatability as well as sincerity to meet the client where they are as well as embracing their individualized experiences. The overarching goal is to get each client to overcome personal obstacles, reach their full potential, strengthen or improve their relationship with family members, and learn appropriate skills to help them succeed in the everyday world. As all people have unique strengths and interests, treatment plans are individualized to ensure that they match the person's needs. Whether that is lessening the burden of anxious thoughts, learning how to get oneself out of a depressed mood state, teaching skills to help calm down when agitated, or discussing social interactions to feel more comfortable, each individual requires their own road map. I enjoy applying a person-centered, strength-based approach as well as weaving in cognitive-behavioral techniques. Counselling sessions are goal-driven; however, goals are developed in a cooperative manner, including the client, myself, and (when appropriate), other family members

When I was a sophomore in college I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. It was a devastating time for me, juggling numerous doctor’s appointments, going to school, having a part-time job, and witnessing the beginning of the end of my parents’ marriage. I eventually got to a point a few years later, after getting married and moving away from home, that I just couldn’t continue pretending like everything was okay. Getting out of bed was a struggle, and so was being motivated to do anything. That was the first time I seeked out therapy, and it had a profound impact on my life. I was able to find new purpose and confidence, which started my own journey of being a counselor, because I wanted to help other people through their tough times. Now I am fortunate to be able to support other women as they work through the difficult periods of their lives, redefining themselves, setting goals, and finding renewed purpose. Let me assist you in doing just that!

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 30 years and work with individuals, couples and groups. This work focuses on helping people develop more fulfilling lives with better relationships, good self-care and an enriched sense of well-being. The second way I help people is as a neuropsychologist, evaluating and treating individuals with neurocognitive disorders. Everyone in my practice is treated with the utmost respect and nonjudgmental regard for their individual traits. I strive to meet all clients with integrity experience, skill, trust, empathy and authenticity.
I work with anxiety and or depression triggered by single event trauma or complex trauma over time- trauma being any distressing situation where we feel helpless and powerless- These effects can create enduring shadows that stretch across our lives. Disconnected from ourselves and others, and detached from those we want to attach, we begin to think we are that disconnection itself, and it is too painful to be with ourselves or feel our feelings. We end up living in an unbalanced, reactive state of anxiety-or stuck in a freeze state of depression or shut-down. Wounding causes us to live from a defended and limited place of grief and anxieties, seeking any way to avoid and relieve pain. Therapy is the reparative process of healing in relationship and again living from our true authentic self with adaptability, resilience, and creativity. We work together to rebalance the nervous system, increase your ability to be embodied and be in relationship, and experience more completeness, joy, and connection. Work with me to regain your sense of self and feelings of connectedness and empowerment.
Interesting fact: Many people come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they want support, clarity, or a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Therapy can be a space to slow down, take a breath, and talk things through without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy — but above all, I focus on creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly yourself.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and yoga instructor. I take an holistic, integrative approach to mental health treatment assisting my clients in building healthy lifestyles that provide proactive protection, maintenance, and or obtainment of optimal mental health and wellness. A holistic approach means that we will explore how mindful awareness, relationships, meaningful academic/career pursuits, sleep, nutrition, rest and relaxation, environment, conventional and complementary medical care, finances, and spirituality, are impacting your mental health and wellbeing. I assist my clients in getting to the root causes of their inability to make and sustain healthy lifestyle practices. This often includes supporting my clients in identifying core beliefs and societal pressures that influence their unhealthy, limiting, and ineffective behaviors. With this increased awareness, I support my clients in courageously aligning their actions with their personal passions, desires, and values.
