About Dr. Alison Bomba
Psychologist. Author. Speaker. Consultant. Active community member.
I am an experienced doctor of psychology providing the following results-driven, evidence-based treatments:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) :
Additionally, I have Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) granted by the PSYPACT Commission which allows me to conduct psychotherapy with clients via telepsychology when they are physically located in a participating PSYPACT state. Telepsychology, also referred to as telehealth, has proven to be an effective way for me to extend my services by removing geographic barriers to those needing specialized treatments. If you feel I may be a good fit for you or your child, please contact me to discuss further.

I am an out of network, fee-for-service provider. Payment is due at the time services are provided. Many health insurance plans offer out of network benefits for psychological services which entitle clients to obtain reimbursement for a percentage of amounts paid. Should clients choose to submit to their insurance companies for reimbursement, I assist by providing detailed receipts that include all necessary information.
Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express are accepted. Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) can also be used to provide payment.
