Paige Allen, LISW-S Psychotherapist Compassionate, Experienced Support for Meaningful Change
I’m Paige, a social worker and psychotherapist with more than 40 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s most challenging moments. I bring a compassionate, grounded approach to therapy, meeting each person with kindness, curiosity, and respect for their unique experiences, values, and goals.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, better understand your experiences, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
Trauma-Informed Therapy & EMDR I have expertise in helping people who have experienced trauma or difficult life events. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the evidence-based approaches I offer. EMDR can help people process distressing experiences and reduce the emotional impact that past events may continue to have on their lives.
My Philosophy Therapy is not about changing who you are. It is about understanding what you have experienced, recognizing the strengths you already possess, and developing tools and perspectives that can help you move forward.
A Collaborative Approach I believe effective therapy begins with a genuine relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration. I listen with curiosity rather than judgment and work with you to understand what is happening in your life and what you want to change.
Depending on your needs and goals, therapy may focus on:
* Depression and anxiety * Stress and feeling overwhelmed * Trauma and difficult life experiences * Relationship challenges * Self-esteem and confidence * Life transitions and major changes * Coping with difficult emotions * Personal growth and building a more fulfilling life
I draw from evidence-based therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to you rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
Extensive Experience Beyond the Therapy Room In addition to my clinical experience, I have spent many years in social-services leadership and management. This experience gives me a unique understanding of the pressures and challenges that can come with demanding professional roles.
I understand the realities of managing teams, being on-call, training and developing employees, hiring, building a positive workplace culture, navigating difficult personnel situations, and implementing corrective action plans. I also understand how the responsibilities of leadership can affect a person's stress level, relationships, confidence, and overall well-being.
This perspective can be especially valuable for professionals and leaders who are trying to balance responsibility at work with the need to care for themselves.
A Space to Be Yourself Whether you are working through past experiences, managing challenges in the present, or trying to build a more fulfilling future, therapy can provide a place to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity.
I believe you deserve to be heard, respected, and understood. I am honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change.
You don't have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start where you are.

03 · What happens next
Paige practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Paige's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Paige at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Paige is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Paige.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Paige actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Paige's - Paige has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 36 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
