Steven "Steve" Allen

Steven "Steve" Allen brings a decade of clinical practice to his work, combining rigorous training with a practical, compassionate approach. He holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an additional Master of Arts in Ethics from the University of Chicago, and practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Minnesota (MN LICSW 10809).

He has substantial experience supporting people who have experienced past and present abuse and trauma, those navigating family of origin concerns, and clients working on relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also addresses anxiety, depression, unhealthy coping that develops from situational or chronic stressors, grief, addictions, anger, self-esteem, career and life transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Steve’s style is warm, interactive, and approachable. He emphasizes understanding both the challenges a person faces and the strengths they already bring, and adapts clinical approaches to match each person’s needs and preferences. He is an older, non-religious, liberal male therapist practicing in Minnesota who values human resilience and focuses on helping people develop practical tools to manage current concerns and future challenges.

He welcomes those ready to make changes and works to ensure people feel respected and supported throughout the process.
