Kristin Allen, LMHC

Kristin Allen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She has provided care across diverse settings, including private practice, community mental health programs, and inpatient treatment centers. Kristin began her professional work in Kentucky and relocated to Florida in 2015. She holds a bachelor of arts in psychology from Georgetown College and a master of science in clinical psychology from Eastern Kentucky University.

Her clinical approach prioritizes creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, accepted, and understood. Because the quality of the therapeutic relationship is a strong predictor of positive outcomes, Kristin places emphasis on building a collaborative, respectful connection. She draws on a range of evidence-based methods - including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) - to help clients increase self-awareness, build practical skills, and cultivate self-compassion.

Kristin often supports people as they explore and accept aspects of their identity, such as sexual orientation, gender identity, and racial identity, recognizing how these factors shape life experiences and perspectives. Her goal is to help individuals process those experiences, embrace their authentic selves, and strengthen meaningful, supportive relationships with others.
