Getting to know McKenna Allred

I’m a licensed clinician who offers a curious, collaborative space for adults to talk openly about what’s going on and explore what might be underneath it. Together, we look at stuck patterns and what needs to shift to create meaningful change. As a Dance/Movement Therapist and EMDR-trained clinician, I take a trauma-informed, body-based approach to therapy. I help clients process what they’ve been through and build a deeper attunement to their body as part of healing. I’m especially interested in working with people navigating religious trauma and religious deconstruction.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and person-centered therapy to support clients with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and navigating change. With my experience in both outpatient and PHP settings, I support a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress and life transitions to more complex clinical needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is curious and nonjudgmental. Together, we look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck and identify what might need to shift to support meaningful change. I may incorporate tools from CBT and DBT to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to build practical coping strategies. As an EMDR-trained and Dance/Movement Therapist, I also bring a trauma-informed, body-based lens to our work. This might include building awareness of how experiences show up in your body or, when appropriate, processing past experiences, always at a pace that feels safe for you. Sessions are flexible and tailored to your needs, whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship challenges, life transitions, or exploring religious trauma and deconstruction.
