Cera Allred, LCMHC – Therapist in Greensboro, NC | Mindpath Health

About

Cera supports teenagers and adults as they navigate life’s complexities – whether that means managing anxiety, processing trauma, healing relationships, or reconnecting with themselves. Her approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and person-centered, grounded in the belief that authentic, healing relationships can be powerful for growth. Cera brings compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment in therapy, creating a safe space where individuals feel seen and supported. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively to foster greater emotional clarity, nervous system regulation, and lasting, meaningful change. Cera draws from various approaches, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma healing, mindfulness, somatic practices to support emotional balance, narrative and strengths-based therapy to challenge limiting beliefs, and CBT-informed strategies to build coping skills. As a 200-hour registered yoga teacher, she incorporates body-based and meditative techniques when helpful, particularly for people recovering from trauma or disconnection from their bodies. Cera is especially passionate about working with individuals navigating identity, self-acceptance, and relationship concerns, and she is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive space for people of all backgrounds, cultures, and sexual orientations, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Before becoming a therapist, Cera spent nine years in the public school system as a special education teacher and school counselor. That experience sparked her passion for meeting people where they are and walking alongside them in their healing. Outside work, Cera enjoys teaching yoga and Pilates, spending time in the sunshine, and doting on her dog.
