Pat Allen, LCSW
I provide integrative, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs, drawing from CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and bereavement support. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and grief, with a focus on later life and older adult concerns. My approach is person-centered, warm, and nonjudgmental, creating a supportive space where you can build on your strengths, work toward your goals, and create meaningful, lasting change.
