TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A Tallahassee woman is turning personal loss into a mission to help others facing mental health and addiction struggles.<\/p>\n
Trish Allmon, owner of Serene Restoration, said growing up alongside her brother Andrew as he battled substance abuse shaped her passion for helping families facing similar challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the behavior that they do, just being so reckless, and you\u2019re just waiting on that phone call and it\u2019s terrifying,\u201d Allmon said.<\/p>\n
She said Andrew died in a motorcycle incident in 2020, but Allmon said his memory continues to inspire her work as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is kind of a tribute to him, what I do every day,\u201d she said. \u201cJust to be able to be there for my clients and be on that journey with them and their families is very rewarding.\u201d <\/p>\n

Allmon always had a goal of launching her own practice. She launched Serene Restoration after realizing many people needed more personalized and consistent mental health support.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe people with mental illness need more than 15 minutes in and out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She now offers services including psychiatric care, family consultations and support for military members.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not always happy every day; we have ups and downs, emotions are normal, but when you can\u2019t get out of bed and can\u2019t function, there is help,\u201d Allmon said.<\/p>\n
Allmon said the work she does each day is with her brother in mind.<\/p>\n
