​Brianna Allen, Psy.D. is a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Jacob Center for Evidence-Based Treatment. Dr. Allen completed her undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of Connecticut, and a minor in women's gender and sexuality studies. She later went on to earn her Master's degree (M.A.) in clinical psychology from the University of Hartford, and her doctorate (Psy.D.) in clinical psychology from Georgia Southern University. Throughout her graduate training, she worked with individuals presenting with Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related disorders, and Disruptive Behavior Disorders in children and adolescents. Before joining the team at the Jacob Center for EBT, she worked in community health and nonprofit agencies, university counseling centers, and a military hospital where she received specialized training in the Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH-ADTC). She also engaged in research focused on the implementation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) among low-income community members.


Additionally, Dr. Allen has a passion for working with those who identify as Black/African American, Indigenous, or persons of color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+ populations, and those who have been traditionally marginalized or underserved. She also enjoys working with current and former athletes. Her therapeutic approach is collaborative, and she views the therapeutic relationship as an essential component of therapy. In her clinical work, she integrates client-centered frameworks, with an emphasis on evidence-based treatment methods, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Outside of work, Dr. Allen enjoys traveling, reading, trying new restaurants, spending time at the beach, and being with friends and family. She looks forward to helping you achieve your goals in treatment!
