Online Counseling For IL & FL Residents Available!

People from all over Illinois and Florida can now access my specialist knowledge via telephone sessions or by using a HIPAA compliant video conferencing technology.

I am happy to work with you in whatever way works best for you and there have been many studies that show “teletherapy” is as helpful as face to face consultations. Please note though that my professional license only allows me to work with Illinois & Florida residents.

I have been offering remote sessions in addition to office appointments to my clients for many years either because they live too far away to come into my Northbrook office or for convenience when they or a child is sick, but now because of Covid-19, I am only offering remote sessions.

Dr. Sarah Allen Bio

TELEPHONE SESSIONS

If you wish to utilize phone sessions please let me know the best telephone number to call you at the time of our scheduled appointment.

I will be calling you from my cell phone 847 791-7722.

 

 

VIDEO SESSIONS

Remote Counseling If you prefer that we see each other while we talk, I offer video sessions via Google Meet video conferencing, Google Meet is similar to Skype or Facetime but is fully encrypted so it is secure and HIPAA compliant to ensure total privacy. 

 

You don’t need to download any software to your laptop to use Google Meet but if you are wanting to do the video sessions using your smart phone, you will need to download the Google Meet App on your phone before our appointment.

For Meet to work, you need to have a laptop with a webcam/microphone and if you are using your phone/ipad for your appointment please make sure you allow Meet to access your mic and camera.

Please also make sure you are sitting in a location that has a strong wifi or cellular signal and some privacy. 

I will send you a link email for you to join the meeting and at our appointment time I will join the meeting too to begin our teletherapy session.

If you are a current client and prefer to continue using Doxy.me, the link is https://doxy.me/drsarahallen.

 

Dr. Allen Forms page

The required paperwork can be found on the Forms Page.

Please complete all these forms before our first appointment:

Assessment Questionnaire,

Patient Information Sheet,

HIPAA form,

Symptom checklists – any that are relevant to how you are feeling,

Teletherapy Consent form,

Credit Card form.

 

If you are a current client who typically comes into my office and you have already completed the Initial Assessment forms but this is your first teletherapy session, you just need to complete the Teletherapy Consent form.

* Payment is by credit or debit card only.

The forms can be completed online via a secure, encrypted portal from your phone or laptop or if you prefer, you can print out the forms and fax them to 847 562-9352 or scan in the completed forms and email to drsarahallen@drsarahallen.com.

 

* Please contact me on the form below or call me on (847) 791-7722 if you have any questions.

    Dr. Allen's professional license only allows her to work with clients who live in IL & FL and unfortunately does not allow her to give personalized advice via email to people who are not her clients.

  • Testimonials

    When I need to refer any of my patients for talk therapy I immediately think of Dr. Allen as she is wonderful at helping people with severe and complex issues really get to the root of their problems. She is very caring and knowledgeable and I have found her extensive experience really helps people to change their lives for the better.

    Dr. Teresa PoprawskiPsychiatrist, First Chicago Neuroscience Clinic

    Last year I was so crippled by anxiety and panic attacks and I didn’t believe that anything or anyone would be able to help me. Since seeing you my life has changed forever and I am finally turning into the person that I always wanted to be…and the person I never thought I could be. You will be the person I call if I start to feel that way again.

    Wendy T.

    I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t a worrier and when my doctor suggested therapy instead of an antidepressant I didn’t think it could really help. I was totally wrong. I don’t spend so much time worrying about the “what ifs” now and concentrate on working on things that are in my control to change in the “here and now” rather than in the past or future. I spend much less time in my head worrying about everything and now have useful strategies to deal with many situations at home and at work. Life is much less stressful and I find myself teaching people I manage at work the strategies Dr. Allen taught me.

    When I started seeing Dr. Allen for therapy I felt so overwhelmed and trapped in daily battles with my three children. Thank you so much for all your help. It has really helped me gain a better perspective. I am now a role model for my children and help them worry less about things by teaching them the tools you taught me.
