Luke Allen, PhD

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Nevada, Oregon, & California. I am authorized to practice remotely in 40+ PsyPACT states and I have ties to Arizona, Washington, and Missouri as I was previously licensed and/or have lived in these places. My services are 100% virtual (i.e., online therapy).

I specialize in treating anxiety (and anxiety-related disorders), depression, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs; e.g., trichotillomania and dermatillomania), and LGBTQ+ concerns, particularly transgender youth and adults. During my post-doctoral residency in Portland, OR at Portland Psychotherapy, I received specialized training in treating anxiety disorders and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-specific training and supervision by recognized leaders in the field. In earlier years, I received training conducting evaluations within a multidisciplinary transgender health clinic.

I am a World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People, Version 8 (SOC8) Certified Member and Mentor. I am also a co-author of the SOC8. I previously served as co-chair of the WPATH Student Initiative and was the elected student representative to the WPATH Board of Directors. I currently serve as Co-Chair of the WPATH Ethics Committee. I have published qualitative, quantitative, and theoretical articles on transgender health, clinical outcomes, and ethics.
