Getting to know Whitney Allen
Welcome!
I'm Whitney Allen, a wife, mom of two, therapist, and an island girl originally from Bermuda. Growing up surrounded by culture, faith, and community shaped the lens through which I support others. I understand how overwhelming life can feel when you're trying to hold everything together, and I bring a culturally aware and compassionate approach to every session.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions, helping them rediscover peace, purpose, and confidence.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Florida International University. With over seven years of experience, I’ve supported adolescents, adults, and individuals with disabilities across school, community, and outpatient settings.
In sessions, I use a blend of evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and narrative therapy. For clients who desire it, I also offer a Christian faith-based perspective, helping to connect emotional healing with spiritual growth.
My style is warm and supportive, yet challenging. I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward the life you were created to live but remember, you have to do the work to get there.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
