Meet Your Therapist
Shaurice Allen , M.A., LCPC, RYT
Conventionality has never been my approach to life and my therapeutic approach is no different. If you are looking for a traditional talk therapist who tells you what to work on and asks how you’re feeling until the session is over , then I am not the therapist for you. If you are not ready to hear the truth and do the work to get to the root of the issues, then I am not the therapist for you. I am dedicated to getting real results , true healing, and doing the work needed to help you get to your bet self. I have experience working in a variety of settings to include the community, forensic institutions, and private practice. In all settings, my passion rooted in helping people heal and grow from negative feelings/ situations, life adjustments and trauma.
Specializing in trauma, depression and anxiety, I utilize evidence based practices ( CBT, DBT, EMDR, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness, etc. ) coupled with alternative and complimentary practices to include yoga, reiki, art, sound healing, and aromatherapy. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is the core of my practice as I believe that without it, no real work can be done. I strive to create a safe down to earth healing space that allows you to come as you are where I will meet you where you’re at, tailoring to your specific needs. Therapy is not a one size fits all, and I will collaborate with you to establish what works best for YOU. My ideal client is some who is ready to do the work but just needs some guidance getting to the destination.
