I wear my trauma on my sleeve and
am not afraid to share my experiences
with my clients and community to
normalize the fact that we all go
through sh*t and that it can be a
beautiful thing that gives us strength
to be better and aspire to heal our
past wounds.

Psychotherapy is generally considered to be a long-term process for treating mental health or conditional issues. During psychotherapy, you learn about your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors (MayoClinic). Receiving any type of psychotherapy often involves a qualified therapist to diagnose, process, creation of a treatment plan and implementation of response(s)/coping skills to challenge possible difficult situations.
As there are many types of psychotherapy, each has its own approach and should be considered different from ANY type of life coaching. Simply, therapy focuses on mental health as well as emotional healing (blog.zencare.co). I, Alyx Allen, am only able to provide psychotherapy in the state of Nevada. I also am unable to be both therapist and life coach. Based on consultation, I will help you identify your needs. If therapy appears to be primary, I assist you by connecting you with resources and/or referring you to a psychotherapist in your area.
Psychotherapy
There are many types of coaching programs, but here, at The Selfish Contract we focus on empowering you to set goals, identify strength and reconnect with your purpose. This can be long term or short term, as well as periodic. With a coach you will be able to focus on personal/professional goals, overcome possible obstacles and identify your possible self-sabotaging behaviors, etc. In all, you will figure out ways to become more of yourself and reach your identified personal goals.
Coaching does not include or require any type of treatment plan or diagnosis unlike therapy. If any type of identifiable treatment and/or diagnosis of any kind is a primary focus; you will be referred to a mental health professional in your area to avoid dual relationship. The Selfish Contract is created specifically for coaching and is unable to be both coach and therapist.

HOW MUCH IS THE INVESTMENT?
I totally understand life happens. Your time is reserved for you & you only. So, if you are in need of canceling a session, I just ask for communication at least 24 hours in advance.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL A SESSION?
Sessions are hosted via Zoom or in person based on location. They run about 50-60 minutes but sometimes go about 10 minutes over if we’ve hit a good flow. Frequency of sessions average about once a week.
WHAT DO SESSIONS LOOK LIKE?
No refund policy. If you decide to invest in yourself, I want to uphold that promise you’ve made to yourself. “I don’t fear commitment, I fear wasting my time.”
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
Whenever you’re ready & you book your sessions! I give you freedom in blocking the perfect time for you, but also instilling accountability in honoring the time you’ve allotted.

THERAPY FAQs
Angelica S.
Alyx helped empower me to speak my truth and not worry if it upsets those even closest to me. She taught me that I can prioritize myself without changing who I am, but amplify who I want to be.
"Alyx taught me to face my struggles, encouraged me to start therapy and put myself first to grow so I could gain confidence. It's all working and I can't thank her enough."
"I used to people please all the time. I was always upset and crying, I didn't know why. She taught me that being selfish isn't what everyone thinks. I just have to be to become more of myself."
