Allied Psychotherapy Group

Real conversations, real compassion, real change.

Personalized Care with Heart and Expertise

Imagine stepping into a space where you’re truly seen and heard. At Allied Psychotherapy, we’re here to connect with you in a way that feels both genuine and impactful. We know that mental health isn’t just about “treatment”—it’s about partnership, understanding, and a shared journey. You won’t feel isolated in this process; instead, you’ll experience the warmth and care of a close-knit community.

Our therapists bring a personalized and hands-on approach to every session, making sure you feel supported by a team that cares deeply about your well-being. We’re here to offer more than expertise; we’re here to offer our whole hearts, just as you do. When you start your journey with us, you’ll be greeted by one of our founders, not just a call center, ensuring that your experience is meaningful from day one.

Incorporation of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Clinical Work

Allied Psychotherapy Group is committed to the core principles of the therapy we practice: one of inclusion, acceptance and empathy. Those principles guide our strong culture and point of view around diversity, equity and inclusion. We believe the success of our endeavors is centered around the respect we have for each other’s  differences, life experiences, knowledge, skills, creativity, unique identities, capabilities, and talents.

You have come to the right place

We understand that each person’s path is unique. Through a careful matching process, we pair you with a therapist who understands your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, working through life changes, or facing challenges in relationships, our team brings a blend of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive therapy, DBT, and mindfulness-based techniques to support you. Together, we’ll find what works best for you.
