The Rainy Day...

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.

My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dr. Robert P. Allred

he/him

Board Certified Psychologist

As a Board Certified Addiction Psychologist, I bring a comprehensive, contextual approach to therapy with expertise developed through years of dedicated practice treating individuals with substance use concerns and traumatic history.

Background

My doctoral research explored the long-term spiritual and psychological effects of clergy sexual abuse, providing comparative insights with other forms of abuse. This foundation informs my nuanced understanding of complex trauma.

With over a decade in Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) as a clinician, supervisor, and training director, I’ve developed an integrated approach that acknowledges the interconnected nature of physical and psychological well-being. Now, with my private practice, I provide individual therapy services to individuals via telepsychology.

Treatment

Theoretical Approach

My practice is grounded in Social Learning Theory, recognizing that psychological growth occurs through:

  • Observational learning processes
  • Meaningful social interactions
  • Cognitive interpretation of environmental experiences

Central to my therapeutic approach is the development of self-efficacy. Each intervention is thoughtfully designed to empower individuals by strengthening their confidence and capacity for meaningful personal change.

Beyond the Office

When not in practice, I value quality time with family, immersion in literature, enjoying classic television shows like M*A*S*H, and exploring new developments in technology.
