Getting to know Perla Allen

Hi! My name is Perla Allen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (LCSW 69205) with over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings, including community outpatient centers, hospitals, in-home care, and telehealth. Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing a broad range of clinical issues, with the most experience in treating depression and anxiety. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients set and achieve meaningful goals. I would describe my style as empathetic, warm, and goal-oriented. I view therapy as a balance between acceptance and validation, and change. This means that during our sessions, you will feel understood, heard, and seen, while I also work alongside you to make impactful changes in your life. Everyone deserves to have someone they can fully be themselves with and feel comfortable speaking to—let me be that person for you. I look forward to working with you!

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.
