Into each life some rain must fall.”

About Affirming CareWashington L&I · Workers’ Compensation
Dr. Allred is a member of the L&I Medical Provider Network and serves as an Attending Provider for mental-health-only claims. Care is available alongside physical recovery or as focused mental health treatment for accepted conditions.
The psychologist
I spent over ten years in Primary Care Behavioral Health as a clinician, supervisor, and training director, which taught me that physical and psychological well-being are never separate questions. My doctoral research examined the long-term spiritual and psychological effects of clergy sexual abuse, a foundation that informs how I understand complex trauma today.
My work is grounded in Social Learning Theory and the development of self-efficacy: therapy should leave you more confident in your own capacity for change, not more dependent on the room where it happens.
Away from the practice, you'll find me with my family, deep in a book, or rewatching M*A*S*H for the umpteenth time.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow · The Rainy Day · 1842
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.
