Karen Allen

I am a licensed mental health counselor licensed in Florida. My expertise is in helping people who have experienced overwhelming life events such as complicated bereavement, physical trauma, sexual abuse, or emotional abuse. I also have experience helping clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger management, posttraumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, relationship issues, and parenting problems.. . My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating my clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling from a Christian perspective. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and deliver services from a strengths-based perspective. Although I am experienced in the delivery of Accelerated Resolution Therapy and in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy), these services require face to face meetings. . As a certified anger management specialist, I can help people develop skills to manage angry behaviors. I will tailor our interactions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and will ask for your input and feedback on goals.. It takes strength and courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you
