Getting to know Gary Allen

Hi there, I'm Gary! My name is Trent, I am a California-licensed LPCC, and I?m glad to help you work through the issues that you?ve brought to therapy. I?m a client-centered and solution-focused therapist and would love to focus on what your dreams and aspirations are. I would start by asking the miracle question to determine if you woke up tomorrow and your life was perfect and everything you wanted was how you hoped it would be, and then I would have you describe that life for me. I earned my Master?s in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. My approach I have a client-centered approach to counseling and employ a variety of tools in my "counselor tool belt" to assist my patients with concerns and symptoms they may want help with. I have used solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. My approach is to always meet patients where they are at and provide unconditional acceptance and positive regard to create a safe environment for people to grow, heal, and move on to what they have brought to the session to work through. My focus I have worked with clients who are experiencing a variety of mental health issues. Some of these may be anxiety and depressive symptoms, PTSD, trauma, personality disorders, Bipolar disorders, Schizoaffective, and Schizophrenia disorders, to name a few. I specialize in working with adults from the LGBTQIA+ and trans community. I look forward to forming a positive therapeutic relationship with you and helping you to grow and become whatever it is you want to be as defined by you. My communication style I am very open and transparent in my therapy style and work as a client-centered therapist. It is a non-directive form of talk therapy, meaning that it allows the client to lead the conversation and does not attempt to steer the client in any way.
