Hello! My name is Lauren Allbee. For as long as I can remember, I have sought to better understand the world, always looking for better ways to gain knowledge and deepen my awareness of what it means to be human today. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Diego State University and from there chose to step towards the unknown by serving in the U.S. Peace Corps. Western Ukraine shaped me indelibly and taught me the importance of being of service, of understanding the value of connection and of the responsibility that comes with earning someone’s trust. Upon returning from Ukraine, I received my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University, where I gained comprehensive knowledge in the fields of school social work, direct practice with children, youth and families, and managed a research team that evaluated potential risk factors of domestic minor sex trafficking. I have since gained valuable clinical experience involving child welfare, foster youth, adoptive family systems, justice-involved youth, complex/multifaceted trauma, neurodivergent youth, clients with dual diagnoses, generational trauma, individualized education plans, and multidisciplinary teams.
