Michelle AllenClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSWA

About

I specialize in dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and play therapy, focusing on individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life changes. While I have a passion for working with children, I also support teenagers, young adults, and adults navigating life's challenges. For me, building a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship is key, allowing clients to express themselves freely with understanding, empathy, and respect. An Ohio State alumna, cat lover, and mental health advocate, I am committed to helping others find their path to healing. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and utilize various evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic therapy and play therapy, based on your individual needs. Whether you’re seeking coping skills or a deeper insight into your emotions, I will work collaboratively with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
