JULINE ALLEN, MS, CBHCMS

 I am a graduate from Capella University with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling, I also have an undergraduate degree in Criminology , I currently hold a Certification as a Behavioral Health Case Management Supervisor and I am also a Certified HIV 500/501 Counselor, and have worked in the mental health field for over 18 years. 

Overall my  experience has increased my knowledge of the signs and symptoms of  overall mental health in our communities. I have worked with clients with ADHD, depression, anxiety, severe and persistent mental health disorders, trauma, grief, abuse, and behavioral issues.  The opportunity to work with individuals facing immediate crisis and involvement in the criminal justice system, facing long term forensic hospitalization and potential incarceration; with families in becoming homeless, disabled, and experiencing trauma and long term psychiatric hospitalization has increased my knowledge of community resources and support areas where I am better able to assist individual. 

My goal is to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can obtain the necessary skills to create change. In order to foster this change, I offer an environment where clients feel comfortable sharing, supported, and respected. 

Being a product of the Caribbean, I understand the multicultural aspects of individual and family systems and can transcend cultural differences.
