“Allison is a great therapist. She’s very observant, encouraging, and kind. She’s always allowed me grace to scale challenges at my own unique pace, and although she has many clients she never forgets a detail about me. After having experiences in therapy where I did not feel heard or respected, I’m very thankful to work with her! She does her best to help me feel safe and seen.”

Getting to know Allison Barton
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (#108104) with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. I am excited to offer a supportive therapy environment to clients in need. I have experience treating adults, teens, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional regulation issues, trauma, PTSD, and life stressors. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including a residential program for teenagers, in-home support for youth and families in the foster system, and a group practice providing outpatient care to individuals and families. I have helped clients process past traumas and adverse events, develop coping skills, overcome crisis situations, manage transitional phases of life, and improve family dynamics.
I strive to create a non-judgmental, nurturing space where clients can explore and heal through a combination of support and practical feedback. My goal is for clients to explore, grow, and heal in order to gain awareness, increase their ability to be present, and live more fully. I am a collaborative therapist who believes you are the expert in your own life, and I serve as a guide to help you move toward your goals. I primarily utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working with clients. Additionally, I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), mindfulness skills, solution-focused therapy, and family systems.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect and supportive and nurturing place to work through issues when they work with me. I typically suggest a few things to work on between sessions to help clients learn new skills faster and practice in their real lives.

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.
