Allie Runkel | Therapy - About me - Originally from Northern California, I moved to Laguna Beach trading redwoods for palm trees. Putting roots down closer to the ocean has supported me on my own healing journey.     While I work from a place of hope and inspiration, I am not afraid to be with your pain. We cannot lead anyone further than we have gone ourselves and therefore I am a committed client to therapy myself and a lifelong seeker of knowledge and depth.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Northern California, I moved to Laguna Beach, trading redwoods for palm trees. Putting roots down closer to the ocean has supported me on my own healing journey.

 

While I work from a place of hope and inspiration, I am not afraid to be with your pain. We cannot lead anyone further than we have gone ourselves and therefore I am a committed client to therapy myself and a lifelong seeker of knowledge and depth. I am always finding spaces and trainings to widen and strengthen my capacity to support my clients. I am gifted at providing a warm space for the wide range of feelings to be felt and processed, compassionately meeting you right where you are. 

​

I enjoy working with adults who may have had turbulent childhoods and who continue to see dysfunctional patterns in relationship to self or relationship with others. I use relational work to guide you to your highest self to find a rewiring that is more regulated and in tune with your true needs and desires.

​

I truly love working as a therapist but when I am not in the office, I love to dance, surf, cook, read, hike, swim in the ocean, be with family and friends, and walk my sweet dog Sadie!
