Arena Counseling - Stephanie Allegre

My journey to where I am today has been influenced by the work of Brené Brown, the renowned social worker and researcher, who believes people need to be provided a culture where they feel seen, heard and respected. I'm committed to walking with my clients as they search for healthy ways to cope with the circumstances in their lives. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches into my work with adults, adolescents and couples. Recognizing connection is as important as the technique used, I'm willing to listen and provide respectful, and honest, straightforward feedback. As a therapist, I believe that trust and collaboration with clients are critical to successful therapeutic outcomes. It's your life to start living. My career has been spent working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am specifically trained in family therapy and trauma work. I have completed training for certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR).
