Getting to know Allison Clay

You may look like you have it together-but still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in your thoughts. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially when you're used to handling things on your own. Hi, I'm Allison Clay, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I offer a space where you can feel genuinely seen, supported, and encouraged to grow at your own pace. I work especially well with high-functioning adults who appear “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. I won't just listen-I'll help you understand patterns, gently challenge what's not working, and build tools you can use in your daily life. Drawing from over 20 years of experience, I help clients navigate life's challenges, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to feel more grounded and in control.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Allison values unconditionally welcoming and accepting diverse clientele.  She believes in fostering an environment of empathy and compassion to create a safe space they can trust. Allison places importance on meeting clients at their level of comfort and patiently guiding them through positive change toward positive results.  For the past few decades of working with individual clients, couples and families, Allison has held these principles at the center of her practice and considers them the foundation of therapeutic success! ?

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.

Allison has helped me see some things that I wouldn't have seen for myself. VERY easy to talk toand very personable.
Wonderful therapist and gets right at the heart of the subject matter. So glad I found her!
I really enjoy my sessions with Allison. She is a very warm person and makes me feel comfortable to talk about how I am feeling and what I'm going through. She helps me see things differently, celebrates wins, and encourages me to challenge myself.
My therapist is the best, she is incredibly supportive, helpful and intelligent. I would definitely highly recommend Ms Clay to anyone who needs an awesome therapist!
I highly recommend Allison as a therapist, especially for anyone dealing with anxiety/panic disorder, relationship challenges, and/or just the daily complex challenges that come with life. She has helped me so much already in a short amount of time. She's easy to talk to, she really listens, she asks great questions with zero judgement, and consistently helps me see new angles and/or perspectives. She is also funny, warm, and just overall a lovely person to talk to about hard or confusing things. Thanks Allison!!
