Rozelle Allen
Hi, I'm Rozelle Allen a passionate, dedicated, counselor with over 20 years of experience, licensed in two states - serving clients across both Ohio and Florida. I use a compassionate approach, and will strive to make sure you have a safe place to be open without fear and judgement. Life may sometimes be very challenging, and you have taken the first and very important step in reaching out for help. I would like to help you work on the struggles you are facing, and meet you where you are at. I work with children, adolescents and adults. Some of the areas I address include anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, adoption, job and school stress.
First session
The first session involves information gathering to determine the most effective treatment strategies that match the clients strengths to ensure client achievement. After the first session, I want clients to know that they are not alone, have a sense of hope, feel understood, and know that they have someone who not only cares, but will also strive to help guide them to reach insightful breakthroughs to mental wellness, success, and progress.
Strengths
I have experienced various challenging life experiences and these experiences have allowed me to be a better clinician by providing counseling services with greater compassion, sensitivity, and understanding of my clients struggles especially those with anxiety difficulties.
Ideal clients
As a dedicated clinician, I strive to help folks with various difficulties, especially those who have sleep struggles, feel overwhelmed with life circumstances, are in deep emotional pain as a result of a job or school stress, death of a loved one, or experienced a traumatic life event such as a car accident or recent natural disaster. As a clinician committed to seeing clients excel, I aim to help those whom has been mistreated, and may have difficulty coping with the situation and or may struggle with the process of forgiveness. Other folks that can benefit from counseling services I provide include folks addicted to their smartphones, folks dealing with a parent and child conflicts, clients who feel stuck in indecisiveness or a depressive mood, and those whom are frequently anxious, or folks that feel worthless unable to find life purpose and are interested in incorporating powerful, Christian perspective approaches.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
During counseling sessions I use Strength Based strategies to help clients identify their strengths and positive qualities to maximize their success so they experience more confidence, happiness and increased hope. These strategies increase self-esteem and help clients see the value of their self worth and I help them apply these values to their life situation to maximize success.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
During counseling sessions, I use Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which are counseling techniques that have been proven to help clients ignore negative thoughts, and focus on positive thoughts while integrating relaxations skills, so that clients can have relax bodies, feel calm, and even stop a panic attack right in its tracks.
Faith-based therapy
Faith-based therapy is the most powerful counseling form of therapy I use with clients because it incorporates the supernatural power of God to break off anxiety, depression, and addiction chains, and free clients with an amazing ,emotional mind and body healing. With Faith-based therapy I incorporate Bible scriptures also known as the "God's Word "with prayer, which is a way to communicate with God . Sometimes I will combine the Bible scriptures, the prayer, and a breathing strategy to crush anxiety. There are also various Christian based forgiveness models too, to help clients whom have been wronged, if they are ready, walk through the process of forgiveness in an effective way.
Trauma-Informed Care
There are various effective trauma treatments. The key is to have clients feel safe during treatment, and one of the strategies that is highly effective is EMDR for recent trauma recovery for immediate aftermath of traumatic events such as natural disasters, accidents, traumatic losses, school shootings and others. EMDR techniques relaxes client's anxious brains and eventually their bodies helping clients break free from the trauma loop.
