Getting to know Allie Clingan
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in Borderline Personality Disorder, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety. Since 2014, I have approached my work with warmth, humor, and compassion. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
My approach
My goal is to help you understand yourself on a deeper level to improve your relationships and remove obstacles preventing you from living a meaningful life. I use a variety of modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and existential therapy. Collaborating directly with my clients is my priority, so I can provide you with what you need to move forward in your life.
My focus
I enjoy working with clients who want tangible skills from therapy. Often, people have been to therapy before and are seeking more than just a space to process and receive validation. I aim to provide you with tools to manage distress, improve your relationships, and increase your sense of self-worth.
My communication style
It’s important to me to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and caring space for my clients. I want you to feel heard and understood while also gently challenging distorted beliefs about yourself and the world that may be holding you back.
My first session with you
In our first session, I will gather background information and history to inform my therapeutic process and better understand you. I also make sure to allow space for you to set limits on how much you want to share, recognizing that this can be a lot to disclose with someone you’ve just met.
