Kiara Allen MA, LPC

Hi, I’m Kiara Allen (she/her), and I help people untangle from anxiety, trauma, and the pressure to be everything for everyone. I work with teens and adults who feel like they’re constantly holding it together on the outside while falling apart on the inside. Maybe you're stuck in perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or just feeling off—like you’ve lost touch with who you really are. You might be tired of always being “the strong one,” or wondering why you keep slipping into the same patterns, no matter how hard you try to change.

A lot of what we call anxiety is actually your nervous system remembering how it had to survive. I use an integrative approach that blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, and emotion-focused work to help you get underneath the symptoms and actually heal. We’ll explore the parts of you that learned to perform, protect, numb out, or shrink—without judgment—and help those parts step back so your real self can come forward.

This work is deep, compassionate, and sometimes uncomfortable—but it’s also incredibly freeing. If you’re ready to stop just managing symptoms and start becoming more you, I’d love to support you on that journey.

Individual Teen Counseling

Being a teen today is a lot. Therapy offers a space to be real, feel heard, and make sense of what’s going on underneath—whether it’s anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or something harder to name. Using IFS, somatic therapy, and emotion-focused tools, I help teens build self-awareness and feel more grounded in who they are.

Available in person and online.

Rate: $150 per 50 min session

Group Counseling

There’s something powerful about realizing you’re not the only one. Group therapy offers a space to show up as you are, connect with others who get it, and do deep healing work together. In a supportive and confidential setting, you’ll have the chance to share your experiences, gain perspective, and receive honest, meaningful feedback. It’s a space for growth, connection, and the kind of support that reminds you—you’re not alone.

Available in person.

Rate: Varies depending on group
