Danielle Allen

I graduated from Marywood University with a BSW in 2004 and an MSW in 2005. I became a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania in 2010. I recently became licensed in the state of Maine over the last year. I have worked in the mental health field my entire career. I have worked at partial hospitalization centers, outpatient therapy, and most recently private practice, both in person and through teletherapy. I have worked with many different populations and age groups. I also worked as a hospice social worker and ran grief support groups. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, stress, life changes, and self-esteem. For my work with clients, I favor using cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and also problem-solving therapy modalities. I tend to have found that clients possess the strength to change, they just struggle with figuring out how to make lasting changes. By using all of those modalities, I am able to help empower the client to understand themselves, their thoughts, and their choices and how that impacts their lives. Once they are able to understand more of why they do what they do, they are able to make changes for the better! I enjoy that process the most and seeing them achieve things that they did not think they were capable of.
