Therapy for individuals, couples, and families
Charissa Kim Allen is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in Orange County, California and available to see clients in-person and virtually.
Coming alongside your process of fuller integration.
I believe the greatest gift we have to offer the people around us is our transformed and transforming presence.
My therapeutic approach tackles both the depth and breadth of psychological integration: depth of insight into the self as well as interventions promoting health in relationships.
My approach is both attachment and trauma-informed.
As a bi-cultural therapist, I am sensitive to the context of culture and race.
I am certified in Restoration Therapy (Level 2, Consultant) and help clients understand their cycles of dysregulation and regulation.
I am passionate about the intersections of mental health, faith, and social justice.
Get started with therapy, today.
charis & kintsugi
The name of my practice, Charis, is inspired by the Greek word for grace, reflecting a belief in the transformative power of an un-shaming environment to process our authentic experience.
My logo draws from the Japanese art of kintsugi, which repairs broken pottery with gold, embracing flaws as part of a beautiful and meaningful story.
Together, these symbols represent my approach to therapy: helping individuals, couples, and families find strength, restoration, and new meaning in the midst of life’s challenges.
In-person and online sessions available
My office is located in central Orange County.
I also offer sessions virtually via a secure tele-health portal.
I am happy to connect and find out which therapy setup would work best for your context.
