Embrace Your True Self:
Supportive Individual Therapy in California for Adults & Teens with Anxiety & Burnout.
Therapy to help you meet a more grounded, playful, and equally engaging version of yourself.
Dr. Allie is a Licensed Psychologist in Roseville, California (Placer County)
Our society’s mentality of “work hard first, take care of yourself later” typically results in us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and like we just aren’t good enough.
Billy Joel said it best in his song Vienna: “Slow you, you’re doing fine, you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time…”
In the race to burnout, we often find ourselves worrying about life in the future, getting pulled into the virtual world full of comparison, assuming the worst in ourselves & others, questioning our worth, reliving painful or embarrassing past events, and generally feeling distracted from our present.
These days, it’s easy to get caught up in online comparison with peers and people we don’t even know. We flood ourselves daily with images of “success” at particular life stages and then subconsciously buy into, what I call, “The Timeline Myth,” where we believe that we should be meeting particular life milestones at certain ages and we feel disappointed, embarrassed, or ashamed when our life pans out differently than we expected or “planned”.
Whether you’re a teenager feeling the pressure of college acceptances (or dreaming of a life path that doesn’t involve college),
a college student worrying about making the “right” decision for your career while stressing about your class courses/grades and relationship status,
a person in their mid-thirties and forties navigating burnout and struggling with work-life balance,
a person going through a significant life change (like divorce or career shifts) trying to overcome life’s unexpected challenges while managing relationships, work, and “self-care” (whatever that means!),
or a person nearing their later life years reflecting on values, relationships, and how you’ve lived….
Therapy with Dr. Allie is a reminder to slow down and review your life experiences from a place of curiosity rather than judgment, identify the thoughts that keep you stuck, embrace your feelings with compassion, and explore tools for improving your relationships. While the outside world is busy telling you who you “should” be and what you “should” care about, I’ll remind you that you deserve to take time to explore the values that matter most to you.
My goal is to support, encourage, and challenge you to live the life you want to lead and improve your relationships with others, starting with yourself. I believe you are capable of finding purpose and enjoyment in your day-to-day activities and learning to rest and play, without guilt. You are worthy of investing your time and energy into fostering meaningful relationships with others and engaging in self-love and self-care practices that actually work for you. Life doesn’t have to be as hard as we sometimes make it.
Working with clients from a variety of ages and cultural backgrounds has made me the therapist I am today. I seek to understand folks from a place of acceptance.
I specialize in working with adults and teens as they navigate anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive thoughts or rumination, self-worth issues, relationship and communication issues, grief and loss, and transitions across various life chapters.
I look forward to helping you meet a more grounded, playful, and equally engaging version of yourself!
Often referred to as Dr. Allie. (My last name is pronounced like “mines”.)
I’m a Licensed Psychologist with a private practice, based in Roseville, CA. I primarily offer telehealth, which means that I can work with you so long as you are located within the California state border. I am exploring office space in Roseville or Rocklin, CA which would be available Fall 2026 for in-person services.
I’m a proud first generation college graduate with a down to earth approach for connecting with others and supporting people in their desire to make the most of their lives. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, inclusive, and playful. A great day of therapy to me is one that is filled with laughter, crying, anger, and smiles. Life is a roller-coaster and I’m here for the wild, often messy, ride.
Welcome! My name is Dr. Allison Meins

My Therapeutic Approach
Perhaps you’ve noticed feeling exhausted, on edge, or had difficulties concentrating and want to understand why,
Maybe you’re ready to explore your wants, needs, passions, and opinions that are separate from those who raise(d) you,
It could be that you’re noticing intense pressure you put on yourself to do things the “right way” or making the “best” decision,
Maybe you’re making sense of this ‘adulting’ business at any stage and trying to juggle everything for everyone, all the time,
Perhaps you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself and others,
Maybe you notice getting stuck in tricky thought spirals that convince you of something that a part of you knows does not match your reality,
Or you might be going through a challenging change (loss of a loved one, divorce, job change or uncertainty, retirement, change as we age)...
If you are seeking support with the many questions and decisions that accompany these periods of growth, I’m here to sit with you, support you, and guide you as you wrestle with making sense of it all.
I always start by having you share your story with me. Storytelling is an art-form that allows us to reflect and make sense of ourselves, others, and the world around us. We’ll explore your unique experiences from your family, cultural, and chronological backgrounds. Then, we’ll set goals together that reflect your personal experiences and interests. We’ll explore the interaction between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so we can identify where to try something new and how to create your desired outcomes in your relationships, career, and recreation. We’ll explore who you are today, how you got here, and where you are going, while making space for acceptance as change occurs. By exploring your values and taking time to build on your strengths, my hope is that you can reclaim your motivation and lead a life of meaning and fulfillment.
Self-love, acceptance, understanding, and growth can begin (or continue) in this warm and inviting space, free of cultural and societal expectation. With me, you can show up just as you are.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!
Are you ready to meet the more grounded, playful, and engaging version of yourself?
