About Allie:

My name is Allie Givens and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a certification as Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My focus is on helping youth, families, and adults find their voice in addressing and facing their challenges in life. Through guidance I hope to engage individuals and families in finding the encouragement and strength to foster their own resilience and self-sufficiency with adversities. An individual is never alone and can find practical skills to overcome challenges.

Education:

I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2017 from UNLV and went almost immediately into a Master’s program for social work. I graduated with my MSW in 2020, also from UNLV.

Experience:

Throughout my education, I was working as a behavioral therapist with children affected by Autism. I also have experience working in the community to correct systematic injustices. I recognize that there are times when someone’s mental health is affected by what is going on around them, not just what is going on in their own mind. I have a generalist experience in mental health; mainly utilizing aspects of cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavioral mechanisms, and trauma informed practices.
