Katherine Allen

My communication style

I foster an atmosphere of open communication and deep respect. I practice attentive listening and am glad to offer reflection once my client feels heard. I don't judge anything a client shares and find it a great honor that people trust me to journey with them into their sacred inner worlds. You can rely on me to remain patient and compassionate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've been interested in psychology since I was a child. However, therapists weren't common where I grew up. Thus, I was a school teacher for 20 years before going back to school to become a therapist. I was a psychologically astute teacher, & after participating in therapy myself, & being amazed by the positive changes I made, I changed careers.

My goals for you

I am a collaborative therapist whose intention is to work with patients to actualize potential. When asked about how goals are set, I explain that I have some expertise in the field of psychology, and patients have expertise in their own lives. Therefore, I work with each patient to create a treatment plan that utilizes their strengths and skills.

Our first session

During our first session, I will listen attentively to your concerns, ideas, feelings, and therapy goals. I will also begin learning about your history and anything else you want to share with me. You will also have an opportunity to ask me questions about my background, approach to therapy, and any other therapy-related questions.
