Getting to know Allen Justin Thornton

I am a mental health professional with over twenty-three years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in various settings. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from St. Thomas University. In my current position as a Mental Health Counselor, I provide effective counseling and necessary services tailored to my clients’ needs. My counseling techniques are advanced, well-defined, and proven to help clients make significant progress. I am organized and detail-oriented, with strong interpersonal skills that enable me to build and maintain a positive rapport with those I serve. I enjoy supporting clients as they reach their goals and learn new behaviors. I am approachable, compassionate, and a competent counselor. In addition to my core expertise, I assist high performers in managing anxiety and avoiding burnout. Together, we identify what isn’t working and work toward restoring balance using a whole-self approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and art to help clients develop a stronger relationship with themselves. Whether you are dealing with overwhelm, relationship challenges, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help with my highly competent skills. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but you are making a courageous and important choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions, I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the issues and habits holding you back. Let’s work together!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I didn't feel that the root of the problem was addressed. It was more of myself providing answers to my own issues. The dr was nice to talk to, but I felt I could of had the conversation with a friend/peer instead with the results that were received.
