As the founder of Becca Allen Counseling, PLLC, she brings a compassionate, research-driven approach to her work with individuals, families, and couples in San Antonio.

Becca earned her Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. A strong advocate for evidence-based practice, Becca specializes in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT). She completed foundational DBT training through Behavioral Tech and intensive RO DBT training under the model’s creator, Dr. Thomas Lynch.

Her training in these specialized therapeutic approaches allows her to work with individuals experiencing complex emotional and behavioral challenges, including emotional dysregulation, maladaptive perfectionism, overcontrol, and difficulties with interpersonal connection. She is passionate about helping individuals develop greater psychological flexibility, emotional well-being, and meaningful connections with others.

In 2019, Becca earned her Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS) designation from the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp).

Continuing her commitment to advocacy, education, and advancing the field of eating disorder treatment, Becca went on to earn her Certified Eating Disorders Specialist–Consultant (CEDS-C) credential. This advanced designation reflects her expertise and dedication not only to treating individuals with eating disorders but also to mentoring, training, and providing clinical consultation to other mental health professionals pursuing specialization in the field.

Through her work as a consultant, Becca helps clinicians strengthen their clinical skills, deepen their understanding of eating disorders, and develop the confidence needed to provide compassionate, evidence-based care. She believes that improving access to quality eating disorder treatment begins with investing in the education and development of the professionals providing that care.

Becca is one of the founding members of the San Antonio chapter of iaedp, which launched in 2019. The mission of iaedp is to promote education, training, and a standard of excellence among professionals who treat individuals with eating disorders. Throughout her involvement, Becca has held numerous board leadership positions, including Treasurer, Hospitality Chair, President, and Vice President, and is currently serving as Treasurer for the second time.

During her time as President, she created and developed San Antonio’s first Recovery with Our Community, an event designed to promote local resources for eating disorder treatment, highlight the work of San Antonio-area providers, and bring together individuals, families, clinicians, and community members in support of eating disorder awareness and recovery.

Becca is also the author of Trust the Listener: A Parent’s Guide to Raising Body-Trusting Kids in a Body-Shaming World, a compassionate and practical resource that empowers parents and caregivers to foster healthier relationships with food, body image, and self-worth in the next generation. Through her writing, she hopes to challenge harmful societal messages surrounding bodies and food while helping families create environments rooted in trust, connection, and acceptance.

Becca remains committed to staying at the forefront of mental health treatment, consistently integrating the latest research and best practices into her clinical work, consultation, writing, and community advocacy.
