Allie Neenan, PhD
Introduction
If you are looking for a childhood cancer therapist, AYA cancer therapist, cancer survivor therapist, or cancer caregiver therapist in Washington State, you have come to the right place. There are several mental health specialty areas within the world of childhood and AYA cancer. My areas of focus include: Behavioral challenges during treatment - adapting evidence-based parent training approaches to fit the practical, developmental, and emotional needs of diagnosed children & siblings Survivorship changes - identity concerns, processing the treatment journey, survivor guilt, fear of recurrence, and other difficulties Grief and bereavement - anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and additional support for navigating death and loss My primary therapeutic orientation is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT. I am also trained in several other evidence-based treatments that leverage behavior change to improve well-being, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and parent management training. I use techniques from these approaches to promote positive adjustment and healing. I am a proudly queer affirming, neurodivergent affirming therapist. The trauma of cancer is intersectional and often inseparable from additional stressors such as ableism, racism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. My priority in therapy is to create a safe space to process all of these things together.
