Allie Seymour, LMFT

What makes me a unique therapist is my deep commitment to involving the entire family in the healing process. I don’t just work with the child in isolation—I collaborate closely with parents and caregivers to create a consistent, nurturing environment where progress can continue beyond the therapy room. With over five years of experience leading parenting classes and providing individualized parent coaching, I bring both expertise and empathy to help families strengthen communication, set healthy boundaries, and reinforce emotional growth at home. I view parents as essential partners in the therapeutic process, and I strive to equip you with practical tools, insight, and encouragement every step of the way. This integrative, family-centered approach not only supports your child’s emotional development but also empowers you to feel more confident and connected in your role.

Why I became a Therapist: 

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of early support and healing. Throughout my work in outpatient clinics, IOPs, and residential treatment centers, I’ve seen how much children can grow when given the right tools in a safe, supportive environment. These experiences inspired me to specialize in child and family therapy—where I can meet kids where they are developmentally and help them feel seen, heard, and understood. My background in trauma-focused care and family systems allows me to create individualized approaches that integrate play, emotional expression, and family involvement. Whether working with a four-year-old or a teen, I’m passionate about helping children build resilience and thrive, both in therapy and in life.

Describe your therapeutic approach and what makes it unique?

My therapeutic approach is integrative, compassionate, and tailored to each child’s developmental stage and emotional needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), while also incorporating creative, child-friendly modalities like expressive art and play therapy. This combination allows me to engage children and teens in a way that feels safe, accessible, and empowering. I focus on helping them explore and reframe the thoughts and feelings that contribute to emotional outbursts, anxiety, withdrawal, or low self-esteem. Whether I’m guiding a young child through emotional expression or helping an adolescent process complex life experiences, my goal is to support healing, build resilience, and strengthen their sense of self.
