Getting to know Theodore Allen

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Army veteran with 11 years of military service and over five years of therapy experience. I work with adults and couples, especially Veterans, service members, and military families. I support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, sleep difficulties, stress, and major life transitions with care. I bring clinical training and real-world experience to our work, helping you understand what is happening, why patterns repeat, and how to move forward in ways that fit your goals. My aim is to help you feel heard while building a clearer path toward meaningful change too. My style is professional but relaxed. I want therapy to feel like a conversation, not an interrogation or lecture. We can speak openly, laugh when it fits, and work through difficult topics at a pace that feels comfortable. I'll listen, ask questions, offer feedback, and challenge you when it may help. You set the pace, and we build the work together as one. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Together, we'll explore patterns, build skills, and identify next steps. You don't need to know what to say at first; we'll figure it out together, while respecting your strengths, needs, and pace.
