Together, we’ll work to ensure that you have the understanding, tools, and confidence you need.

Hi, my name is Lisa Allred (she/her) and as a clinical social worker, lifelong ally, and mother of a trans therapist in Raleigh (Finn Draper), I know connecting with support people is important during difficult times. In addition to a background and passion for working with adults experiencing anxiety, I also enjoy supporting parents, especially parents of LGBTQ+ kids/teens/young adults. I offer the evidence-based AFFIRM Caregiver groups for parents of LGBTQ+ youth and I write letters for gender-affirming care. In conclusion, I equate my role as a therapist to that of a tour guide… you decide where we are going and I point out the sights and obstacles along the way.

Wisdom, Maturity, Experience

My wisdom, maturity, and experience are important to our therapeutic partnership. I have 28 years of helping individuals and families, and I would love to help you as well. I’m here to listen, validate, and offer practical tools and strategies to help you navigate your challenges with anxiety or parenting.

You Don’t Have to Go Through This Journey Alone

If you have questions or concerns please feel free to reach out, even if you just want to talk through your feelings. I offer free 15 minute consults for us to discuss your care, and if we decide I am not the best fit, I will do my best to help you find someone who is! You don’t have to go through this journey alone—let’s start the conversation today.
