Getting to know Lara Allen

Hi there, I'm Lara! Hello. My name is Lara Allen, and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I earned my Master's in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas at Tyler. My primary focus areas are Borderline Personality Disorder, Eating Disorders, and Complex PTSD. My approach My approach to therapy is largely trauma-informed with a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) based orientation. I emphasize mindfulness and compassion as a large part of treatment. My focus My typical clients include those who struggle with chronic feelings of emptiness, unhappiness, and difficulties regulating emotions. My communication style The tone I try to create is one of acceptance, compassion, and patience. I aim to be a safe, reliable source in working through issues causing you pain. I want to understand the root or core of what's behind your unhappiness. My journey to mental healthcare My own life history has driven me to being a therapist; my life has not been pristine-I've grown a lot by doing my own therapy (as a client). It is my own life experience that drives me to help others overcome their own challenges. I love what I do. My goals for you We approach goals collaboratively. I will listen to your history and current life situation, and we will work together to figure out what you feel is most important to address. My first session with you The first session is essentially getting your history and the matters that are bringing you to therapy. We will cover your background and what symptoms you are experiencing. We will also come up with a plan for how to proceed.
