Sarah Allen

Welcome!
I am Sarah and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified School Counselor in Florida. I am currently seeing clients virtually through Headway. My 20 years of clinical experience have given me opportunity to work with a diverse population and in various therapeutic settings from Residential treatment, outpatient, to in-home therapy. These experiences have shaped me both personally and professionally.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Although I have had opportunities to help clients work through different needs, I have a wealth of experience particularly working with clients who have experienced trauma, those experiencing anxiety and depression, difficulty with relationships and communication, or are having difficulty managing stress or stressful events. Additionally, young adults clients have found me to particularly helpful in supporting through life's transitions and/or helping them to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and responses to things.
I believe therapists best serve their clients by walking beside them with a strength -based and client- centered approach. Through a strong therapeutic relationship, clients are able to change the way they see themselves, heal from previous or current hurts, and change the way they interact with others.
My goal is to partner and collaborate with my clients to identify what goals the client wishes to work on, identify coping strategies that work most effectively for them, and help the client better understand what has caused the current distress they are experiencing. My intention behind this approach is to support and empower clients to continuing to grow far past their final therapy session.
