I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I saw several movies with therapist as the main character. I believe change happens when we all work together to help each other. Clients who get the most out of therapy with me are clients with variety of different issues and concerns. Three words that describe my style are cultural competency, empathy and effective listening skills. Something about me that is unique is I have ran several 10K and 5K races and running is a hobby and passion of mine. What influences me to do the work do is striving be the best person I can be and helping others to do the same. I grew up as a Army brat as my Dad was in the Army and he retired after 20 years in the service. I got to see the world and the country and that has shaped my world views.

Hello! I am Kristin Allen, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Tallahassee, Florida. I work to help clients to build self-acceptance, a greater sense of meaning based on their personal values, and effective thinking and behavior patterns to promote their well-being. Research has taught us that certain thinking and behavior skills are associated with positive mental health outcomes, and I strive to help clients to incorporate these practices. If you are struggling, please feel free to reach out to me. I would be honored to work with you through this difficult time. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, or exploring important questions about your life, it is important to have a therapist who actively listens, is supportive, and offers research-based strategies for moving through these challenges. This is what I aim to provide for my clients.

Since 2018, I have utilized person-centered and strength-based practices to promote the "Power of Self." These practices empower individuals to direct their therapeutic process. Establishing a safe zone and welcoming client feedback allows methods that are proven to be effective in managing difficulties, promoting personal growth, and accomplishing personal goals. I also provide therapy services to individuals exploring their sexuality; sexually fluent; and those that are experiencing a decrease or increase in sexual functioning. My experience includes working with life transitions (military and civilian), intimacy barriers, sexuality connections, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ challenges, trauma, race-related trauma, Military Trauma, PTSD, and addiction. My purpose is to help uplift and contribute to the healing of others while affirming individuals from all ethnic backgrounds. As life happens, you do not have to walk your journey on your own. Give yourself grace and take your journey one day at a time.

My educational background includes an MA in Human Behavior, a MA in Professional Counseling and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). The education and training I have received enables me to help my clients, especially children and teens, find healthy ways to deal with life stressors, ways to strengthen their perceptions of themselves while finding peace, self-acceptance, and solid emotional footing in an uncertain world. I’ve been a therapist for 15 years. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly, and from all walks of life. I have a wide variety of experience working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, developmental disabilities, and more. I am experienced in helping others while using strength-based approaches and integrating various treatment therapies to best meet the needs and goals of my clients.

My name is Tamara Pacheco, and I am a Florida-based therapist offering telehealth services addressing life transitions, relationship issues, and perfectionism/overthinking. My background is working with veterans, adults, and adolescents with anxiety, depression, and trauma. As a veteran myself, I am familiar with the challenges of major life transitions, stress, relationship issues, perfectionism, and always wondering, “Is this it? What’s next?” My approach with each client is empathetic, direct, and appropriately challenging, while feeling casual, comfortable, and humorous. I am a person-centered therapist, meaning I believe that each person has the capacity to heal and self-grow, and I am here to aid in this journey. Therapy doesn't have to be stuffy and boring, and my space is always judgment-free. I work with adolescents (13+) and adults (18+) to regain control over their lives and feel fulfilled and empowered through a blend of modalities and interventions.
