Is your child neurodivergent and having a difficult time adapting to the world around him/her? Does your child become easily overwhelmed, overstimulated, or become frequently dysregulated, leading to emotional outbursts?

My name is Carrie Allen (she/her), and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2016. Being a therapist is my first career, and I cannot see myself doing anything else. "Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated. When it is ignored or invalidated, the silent screams continue internally," by Danielle Bernock. Trauma creates feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, of shame and guilt, and of being so lost in the darkness that it feels like there is no end and no way out. I work with you to find hope and self-compassion.
