I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.
I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
Hello, and welcome! My name is Tierra Allen and I’m a licensed therapist with over nine years of experience in the field of Social Work, having transitioned into therapy in 2020. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges and develop healthier ways to cope. I specialize in working with men, women and teen girls, helping them regulate emotions, build resilience, and respond to stress in ways that promote growth and emotional well-being. My practice currently serves teens and adults. If you or your teen is struggling with overwhelming feelings or challenges in life, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and finding peace amidst the chaos with a healthy RESET.
I specialize in working with interpersonal conflict, behavioral issues, anxiety, life cycle transitions, depression, and helping clients recognize and build on strengths to overcome challenges.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed with life, exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event? Perhaps you struggle with a chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with a difficult child or teen. Or maybe your partner has been unfaithful. Are you tired of feeling isolated and hopeless? You want- no, you need- things to change, but you don’t where to begin. Asking for help can be one of the most difficulty things to do, but I would be honored to help you discover your inner strength and begin your journey to healing and being who you are meant to be.
I have received training in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for managing bipolar disorders as well as certification as a clinical trauma professional. A nationally certified counselor, I am also a member of LPC Association of NC and the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP).
I am passionate about helping people triumph over trauma, learn mindfulness-based practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, understand the relationship among our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (CBT) and learn to tolerate distress in their lives.
I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.
I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.
We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and autism spectrum-related concerns, with a particular focus on working with children, teens, and young adults.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Kernersville
Finding the right therapist in Kernersville starts with identifying the type of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Kernersville is part of the broader Triad region, so providers in nearby Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point may also be a good fit — especially if they offer virtual sessions.
Therapy in the Kernersville area can vary in cost depending on your provider and session type. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see a provider who is in-network with your insurance plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
When evaluating a therapist, consider reading their bio to understand their approach, areas of focus, and what a session with them might look like. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation, so you can see if it's a good match before committing to a first session.
