Robert Lyn Allen, M.F.T. is
a native of California who grew up in the South Central Los Angeles area.
Until the age of 10 he was raised by his great-grandmother and later was placed
in a foster home.
Robert’s teenage years were tumultuous. He dropped
out of high school and spent several years in juvenile hall. The
gift of a strong spirit and a willingness to change the course of his
life brought Robert to enroll in junior college. He later transferred
to a university where he completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.
Currently, he is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing
private practice individual and group counseling and consulting with various
non-profit agencies in the Los Angeles area.
Currently he is acquiring certification as a Professional Life Coach.
The seminal lesson that Robert’s life experience has taught him is to "focus
attention on love and discipline. After that, it all falls into place."
Circle of Love is a non-profit
organization dedicated to providing vital support and empowerment skills.
To
strengthen the care-giving community and to support self-sufficiency
for individuals, their families, and work environments.
