I've been working with Shelly for the last few years. She is the utmost professional. She is prompt to our sessions and always willing to work with me when my schedule requires adjustment. During our sessions, she makes me feel that I am genuinely cared for and provides me with ample space to converse. She also follows up and sends along helpful links to supplemental materials, like books and articles, that she thinks I would find interesting.

More about Shelly Allen, LCSW
Shelly is an integrative and holistic psychotherapist with 10 years of experience devoted to the conversation of improving lives. Her approach is interpersonal and relational to best empower and accomplish your goals. Shelly's specialties include eating disorders, body image issues, addictions, sexual issues, trauma, loss and grief, professional issues, relationship conflicts and chronic health concerns. Her work is devoted to helping people develop an understanding of their discomfort to better improve their lives. She works collaboratively with people to improve connection. In addition to her psychotherapy expertise, she is a certified Holistic Health Coach with an extensive understanding of food and nutrition. Shelly's practice embodies a whole person approach between physical and emotional conflict resolution. With an understanding of how health and medical conditions can affect our thoughts and feelings, she collaborates care with great doctors and clinicians across various fields. When appropriate, she will encourage people to consult with doctors who specialize in assessing individual needs to rebuild hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalances. In most cases, she will prefer to start with a person’s individual health needs rather than with a psychiatrist for medication evaluation and pharmaceutical treatment. While medications can be important and helpful, in her experience they may mask symptoms without prevention or treating imbalances, instead acting as a band aid. Together you can begin to fully understand the problem and how to effectively treat it. Shelly is an expert in her field and often contributes to media and published articles to raise greater awareness and promote positive change on topics affecting individuals and global communities.
