Integrative Psychotherapist & Relationship Counselor @ Head + Heart Integrative Psychotherapy

Are you ready to navigate the challenges of being human with greater resilience? As an integrative psychotherapist and relationship counselor, I specialize in supporting adults, couples, and groups to heal relationships on all levels. Including their relationships with stress, chronic illness/pain, family of origin issues, and trauma.

Combining research-informed practices with revolutionary brain + relationship science, I work from an integrative “head + heart” approach that incorporates mind, body, and spirit to help you increase resilience, release emotional baggage, and ignite holistic healing. Hence, the name of my practice – Head + Heart Integrative Psychotherapy. I believe that only by working from a holistic perspective can we truly experience deep healing and lasting change.

My practice of psychotherapy and counseling integrates relationship science (Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy), neuroscience (Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Somatic therapy, EMDR therapy, depth psychology and parts work, and trauma-informed interventions.

I am now accepting new clients for secure online therapy for Texas residents and offer free 15 min phone consults. You can learn more about me and my practice at www.headandheart-therapy.com

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Holistic Somatic Psychotherapy

Private Psychotherapy and Group Programs for Preteen & Teenage Girls & Moms with Daughters

Warrior Girls Rising® &
Be the Woman You Want Your Daughter to Become®
Private Psychotherapy and Programs

I’m a passionate and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Holistic Somatic Psychotherapist with a Masters degree in Social Work-Direct Practice. I have over 19 years of experience in the mental health field counseling women and children of all ages in various settings, including schools.

I’ve always loved counseling girls, but after over a decade of witnessing their moms passing down their own issues to the next generation—and personally experiencing this with my own daughter—I moved into another passion of mine—helping moms with daughters heal their own traumas so they won’t continue to pass them down for generations to come.

However, after watching our girls continue to harm their bodies and themselves as they attempt to meet society’s unrealistic standards…after watching anxiety, suicidal ideation, and self-harm behaviors skyrocket among our teens…and after watching girls’ self-esteem plummet by age 13—while knowing I have the skills AND passion to help them, I was guided to begin counseling middle and high school girls, again. As a result, I created a safe space for girls to come together, to be seen and heard, to share and heal, to learn and grow, to connect vulnerably with other girls, and to consciously create the lives they want to live, as they move into womanhood. I created Warrior Girls Rising®.

Warrior Girls Rising® is a MOVEMENT with the mission to empower middle and high school girls to empower themselves, by helping them heal emotional wounds, while teaching them the skills needed to become confident and powerful women who thrive.
Currently, I offer private psychotherapy to moms and girls and I facilitate two programs for middle and high school girls—EMPOWER HER and Your Sacred Body—in Dripping Springs, Wimberley, and online.

I also help you Be the Woman You Want Your Daughter to Become® through helping you heal generational patterns and trauma you don’t want to pass down to your daughter. Although I’m skilled in helping clients heal a wide range of issues, I currently focus on helping girls and moms heal anxiety and trauma, while cultivating self-compassion, building self-confidence, and learning important lifelong personal development practices that help them create the lives they want.

I draw from my own personal experience in healing trauma and an eating disorder, as well as my professional training in mindfulness, Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy, movement, energy & spiritual psychology, parts work, attachment theory, Reiki, and more. My work is individualized, but I may incorporate journaling, guided meditation, nature connection, self-care practices, movement, and other somatic practices into our work together.

Certified Hakomi Therapist, Ecotherapist, Energy Medicine and Embodiment Practitioner

@ Embody Wellness

Deirdre S. Allen is a body-centered mindfulness-based psychotherapist, energy medicine practitioner, embodied feminine movement facilitator, budding herbalist & ecotherapist, and a lifetime devotee and steward of Mama Earth. Her lifetime of learning and experiences have helped her evolve practices that help others heal their emotional wounds in order to live to their soul’s fullest expression.

As a Certified Hakomi Therapist, Deirdre offers a potent alternative to traditional talk therapy. While she blends many therapeutic and intuitive practices, her primary modality is Hakomi, a mindfulness-based somatic approach to emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing. Hakomi works primarily with body awareness, in particular, the ways in which our emotions show up as physical sensations.

Deirdre guides her clients into their own body, heart, and mind to unwind stuck memories and emotions, and teaches them how to meet their present moment experience with attentive compassion. Deirdre also incorporates nature-based therapy, energy healing, embodied feminine movement, and herbalism into her work with clients by weaving in connection to the natural world.

Deirdre considers her relationship to Earth a sacred and spiritual practice that she hopes to inspire in others. She is passionate about helping her clients connect to the natural world. We are part of the natural world and being in relationship with natural beings helps us to see our inner wisdom.

Currently offering virtual individual Hakomi sessions to foster self-soothing and calming connection in these challenging times.
