During Dr. Allen’s post-doctoral residency, he received specialized training in treating anxiety disorders and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-specific training and supervision by recognized leaders in the field.

Message to clients

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. As an ACT therapist, instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, relationships, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.
