Getting to know Allyson Bell
Hi! I'm Allyson, and I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting with you. Have you been struggling or just wanting some extra support and a place you can turn to in order to let it all out? Have you found yourself stressed out or feeling overwhelmed easily? Are you struggling to understand your emotions or what is happening in your relationships?
I hope I can help you with those issues and so much more! I work with you to understand how you are feeling and thinking about situations and help you focus on your long-term goals to get through life's ups and downs. I've worked with all ages and use a holistic approach to therapy to address the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I take an integrative approach and work to meet you where you are, personalizing treatment to meet your strengths and needs. I bring in evidence-based interventions and techniques as well as creative and artistic elements. I've received training in several modalities including DBT, CBT, EMDR, and ABFT. I've found that using both sides of your brain can strengthen positive changes and increase success in reaching your goals.
I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Chico. Taking steps to heal yourself and making time for yourself can be scary. It can be challenging to work with someone new or to give therapy another try. You're making the right choice, and you deserve this opportunity. You deserve a safe space, you deserve to heal, and you deserve to reach your fullest potential in life. Let's work together to help you become the best version of yourself!
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect to have the time and space to express yourself openly and experience a sense of understanding. You can expect to have skills and tools to practice outside of the session. My focus on the sessions is to help you make better sense of the challenges you are experiencing and develop the confidence to practice new approaches to alleviate your symptoms and reach your goals!

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.
