Allahna Kaj has an fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy. She grounds her work in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which provides a framework for helping her clients understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behavior and reactions. She has seven years of experience as a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based skills and mindfulness-based approach for creating emotional regulation and insght. Her approach is also strongly informed by Polyvagal Theory, focused on the Vagal Nerve’s role in moderating the autonomic and sympathetic nervous system and EMDR, which uses a form of tapping into clients' internal energy to calm and develop insight. Ms. Kaj received her BA from UMass-Boston (2002) with honors in a double major—Psychology and Study of Religion with an undergraduate honors thesis on integrating psychology and religion. This was followed by a MSW from Smith College School for Social Work (2004), where her research focused on overcoming personal and spiritual crisis. After graduating, Ms. Kaj completed the UMASS Medical School practicum in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
For 20 years, Ms. Kaj has helped her clients navigate life’s challenges—depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, medical problems, substance use, aging, disability. She sees her Texas and Colorado clients by telehealth and, in Colorado, sees clients in her office. For a free 20-minute consultation, please contact her on this page.
