At A Place to Turn, we are honored to welcome Amy M. Allen to our clinical team in Pasadena. Amy brings a unique blend of clinical expertise, creative expression, and compassionate care to the therapeutic process. With a deep commitment to emotional liberation and personal empowerment, Amy helps clients access their authentic selves and move beyond limiting patterns.
Amy specializes in working with high-performing individuals, couples, and teens who may feel emotionally stuck or disconnected. Drawing from trauma-informed care, EMDR, and Dynamic Emotionally Focused Therapy (DEFT), Amy supports clients in addressing insecurity, anxiety, self-doubt, and apathy while cultivating resilience and clarity.
With a background in Transpersonal Psychology and creative arts modalities, Amy integrates expressive techniques such as art processing, journaling, and mindfulness practices into sessions. Their approach invites clients to engage body, mind, and spirit in the healing process—fostering self-expression, awareness, and transformation.
Clients often describe Amy as open, creative, and heart-centered. Their work centers on building confidence, deepening relationships, and rediscovering joy, even amidst life’s challenges. Amy welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, orientations, and identities into a safe and inclusive space.
Amy is now accepting new clients in-person at our Pasadena office and also provides telehealth sessions throughout Southern California. They are dedicated to supporting the Pasadena community with care that is accessible, inclusive, and empowering.
