Adriana “Adri” Allman received her master’s in social work (LMSW) from Columbia University and her bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. With 16 years of experience in the arts, she has developed a keen interest in working with creative professionals to address their specific concerns including identity, creative blocks and flow, performance anxiety, career transition, and life purpose. She has focused her career on the treatment of substance use disorders and trauma and seeks to offer interventions that honor the intersectionality of historically oppressed identities including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Adri is experienced in providing individual psychotherapy and facilitating group therapy to clients in outpatient settings targeting substance use and other mental health issues.

In her clinical practice, she uses a combination of harm reduction, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). She has worked as a Certified Support Specialist with NAMI. In addition, she has conducted research through an NIH grant looking at the feasibility and acceptability of overdose prevention strategies aimed at reducing overdose deaths in NYS. Along with mindfulness-based practices, she enjoys teaching and practicing yoga.
