approachable, warm, nonjudgmental, empathetic and supportive. It's important to me that you feel safe to do this important work together.

that I tailor my approach to you and your needs and preferences. While I do practice traditional talk therapy approaches, I also practice EMDR which is effective for trauma, depression, anxiety & more.

Discuss and work toward goals to improve how you're feeling, whether it's stress or trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression or relationships that are troubling you. We'll work to incorporate new coping skills in your life and address underlying causes.

I work with pre-teens (10+), teens, young adults and adults. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming. I practice EMDR for those interested. I have experience working with secondary trauma and burnout from the workplace as well as parenting and divorce.

It's an honor to do this work. The people I work with amaze me every day in their wisdom, strength and growth.

I offer in-person therapy in Newberg, Oregon. You might be able to get reimbursed for out-of-network therapy! Check here: mentaya.co/b/kateallenlcsw

If you want to learn more about EMDR and how we may be able to use that approach together for your healing, please see https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/. EMDR can be effective for folks for whom talk therapy has not yielded desired results.
