Hello! I am Kristin Allen, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Tallahassee, Florida. I work to help clients to build self-acceptance, a greater sense of meaning based on their personal values, and effective thinking and behavior patterns to promote their well-being. Research has taught us that certain thinking and behavior skills are associated with positive mental health outcomes, and I strive to help clients to incorporate these practices. If you are struggling, please feel free to reach out to me. I would be honored to work with you through this difficult time.
In our first session together, I try to spend time really understanding your concerns and goals for therapy. This will help me to create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
One of my clients provided the following review, and I am sharing this with her permission: "Super kind and helpful. Truly cares about her clients and becomes invested in your wellbeing. I can tell she does this out of purpose and passion. This isn’t just a job to her." -Client K. after 7 months of therapy
I love working with adults of all ages who are struggling with self-confidence, anxiety, and depression. Often, clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.

I use the Gottman method of couples therapy because it is backed by over 40 years of research as an effective way to help couples who are struggling with conflict and eager to rebuild a quality, fulfilling relationship.
ACT therapy helps us to adapt to all of the ups and downs in life by helping us to respond more flexibly, to be more present, and to live according to our values. It is based on a large body of research, and I've seen it help clients with a variety of life's concerns.
CBT helps us to learn to identify our unhelpful thinking patterns and to replace them with more adaptive ways of thinking. It is supported by research and is very helpful for depression and anxiety disorders.

I saw Kristin for couples counseling and she was extremely warm, compassionate and soft in her approach. I loved that she used the Gottman Theory to guide our sessions. She gave plenty feedback and explained things thoroughly. She is one to give homework and share articles/links for extra information to educate her clients a little more which I loved & found helpful. I think she’s definitely a good fit for those who might be a little more on the timid side and want to feel comforted & not judged

Healing from my past is a journey, and Kristin has been a patient and nurturing guide every step of the way. Her support has created a safe space for me to process and grow, and I am truly grateful for her kindness and expertise.
