Jackie Allen, MA, LMFT
Welcome! I’m Jackie, a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT 144227). I have over six years of experience supporting people across the lifespan—from toddlers to teens to adults—using cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered psychodynamic therapy, expressive arts therapy, play therapy, and creativity coaching.
I help young people cultivate emotional wellbeing and resilience in a warm, exploratory, and supportive environment.
In addition to my online work with young adults, I also maintain a small practice facilitating play and expressive arts therapy with children. I also provide online therapy to teenagers at Kaiser Permanente, though Kaiser’s partnership with Daybreak Health.
My practice is not designed for people who are in active crisis or needing intensive or emergency-level support. I’m always happy to help find appropriate referrals if that level of care is needed.
