Lili Allen

In a world where self-acceptance can be challenging, Lili Allen creates a sanctuary for healing, growth, and self-discovery. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in South Carolina, Lili specializes in guiding clients through the complex journey of trauma recovery, attachment issues, and body image struggles. Her approach is deeply rooted in creating a safe, inclusive space where clients can explore and appreciate the younger parts of themselves that have been instrumental in their survival.

Lili's therapeutic toolkit is diverse and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. She primarily employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a technique she is currently pursuing certification in through EMDRIA. This powerful method is complemented by her use of ego states/parts work, mindfulness practices, and somatic techniques. This combination provides a solid foundation for clients to engage in emotional reprocessing and develop a stronger mind-body connection.

As someone who lives in a larger body, Lili brings a personal passion to her work with clients struggling with body acceptance. She firmly believes in the inherent worth and beauty of all body types, challenging societal norms that prioritize thinness. Her practice is grounded in the principles of body liberation, encouraging clients to embrace their right to take up space and celebrate their bodies.

Lili's approach to therapy is intersectional and explicitly LGBTQIA+ affirming. She understands the complexities of identity and how they intersect with mental health, ensuring that all clients feel seen, heard, and respected in their therapeutic journey. Her goal is to help clients clear away the pain of past experiences, making room for joy, love, and genuine self-acceptance.

At Therapy Studios, Lili is part of a team committed to anti-racist, queer and trans-affirming, and body liberatory practices. This collaborative environment reinforces her dedication to ongoing learning and growth, both for herself and her clients. For those seeking a therapist who combines professional expertise with a deeply empathetic and inclusive approach, Lili Allen offers a unique opportunity to embark on a transformative journey of healing and self-discovery.
