Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is inevitable in life but suffering doesn't have to be. Suffering arises when anxiety rules us. We are anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We are anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy can provide a doorway out of these loops. We cannot prevent difficulties and tragedies. However, we can learn to manage our internal reactions to external circumstances and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to face our internal world in all its messiness and complexity.

Every person has the potential and inner knowledge to overcome hardship. It is my passion to help others create connections that facilitate that ability to heal. I provide a safe holding space where people can explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Life is going to present challenges, there is no getting around that. What we do now and how we move forward is what matters. I welcome you to come explore your negative beliefs and strengthen new positive adaptive beliefs that allow you to thrive in your daily life.
