Mylan Allen, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mylan!

I approach therapy with authenticity and curiosity. I help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, Bipolar, and other mental health concerns.

My focus

I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, grief, sleep issues, stress, and concentration difficulties. I have extensive experience with PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and psychotic disorders. I offer support for low motivation, dissociation, and hypervigilance.

My approach

I approach therapy using person-centered and cognitive-based therapeutic modalities such as AEDP, CBT, REBT, Gestalt, Solution-Focused, Narrative, and interventions necessary for supportive healing.

My communication style

Sessions are friendly and person-centered. I take time to understand you and meet your needs. Clients feel seen and appreciated. You'll leave with clinical understanding of your symptoms and current situation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've wanted to be a therapist since my twenties and bring extensive knowledge from working in hospitals, residential settings, and private practices. I'm driven by kindness and care for people. I'm passionate about helping others and sharing insights into life circumstances.

My goals for you

I help you determine your goals through guiding questions, then we approach them on your terms at your pace. We discuss motivation and resistance. I provide support, celebrate your choices, highlight your strengths, and challenge resistance with empathy.

Our first session

Our first session is an introduction where we build rapport and trust. You'll express your concerns and reasons for coming to therapy. I'll get to know you, and we'll discuss informed consent for therapy.
