Intro

Nestled within the beautiful state of California, Jennifer Allen's practice offers a unique and therapeutic experience highlighting the profound connection between art and personal discovery. Jennifer's therapeutic approach utilizes the transformative power of creativity as a stairway to unmask and explore non-standard states of consciousness. She is well-versed in psychedelic-assisted therapy and research, specializing in both ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and utilization of MDMA for treating PTSD. Alongside her private practice, Jennifer also offers workshops on non-standard state preparation and integration, highlighting the use of spiritual emergence as an essential tool.

Her practice also focuses on how artistic expression can serve as a catalyst for personal growth and healing. Using art as a tool, Jennifer helps her clients prepare for experiences that may seem overwhelming and challenging to articulate, while also aiding them in integrating these often-inexpressible experiences into their lives. Her treatment approach intricately combines art with somatic practices, allowing individuals to embody new understandings about themselves and the world around them. This unique use of art therapy generates a physical symbol that continues to facilitate self-discovery and reflection, long after the encounter in question. Jennifer's pioneering methods are currently adapted to a limited clientele, allowing her to provide comprehensive and personalized care to each individual.

Jennifer's practice extends beyond traditional therapy with her authorship of "Bone Knowing," a heartfelt narrative about dealing with the impending loss of a loved one through illness. This tale has not only proven to be a catalyst for candid discussions about death, love, and life but has also served as a valuable resource for therapists assisting clients experiencing anticipatory grief. Additionally, she has written "Cinnamon Roll Sunday," a supportive guide for young children grappling with the uncertainties and changes that arise from a loved one’s serious illness. Jennifer also shows her commitment to addressing children's anticipatory grief with her creation of a neuropsychology-informed children's board game, developed in collaboration with colleague Charles. Overall, Jennifer’s practice is an amalgamation of therapeutic expertise, spiritual emergence, and creative expression, offering transformative and empathetic care for many people navigating different journeys in their life.
