Allison Jones, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Allison!

I work with adults and teens and specialize in anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and perinatal mental health. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients reach their goals and feel better.

My focus

I work effectively with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, social pressures, life transitions, and stress. I enjoy working with mothers on issues ranging from perinatal mental health to family relationships and self-esteem.

My approach

I tailor my approach to fit your individual needs and personality, utilizing your strengths and personal values to guide our work together. I pull from evidence-based treatment models and have found them extremely useful in helping clients move through life's difficulties by identifying and working to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

My communication style

I'm often told that I am very easy to talk to. I aim to make every client feel comfortable, welcome, and understood. The tone of my sessions can be lighthearted when appropriate, as I believe humor can be a useful coping skill. I provide an empathetic and non-judgmental space for clients to work through painful emotions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm a natural caregiver and have always been drawn to the helping professions. I see my work as a therapist as a way to empower people to prioritize their mental health and become the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

I encourage clients to identify areas of their life they'd like to improve and create goals from there. I assist clients in making sure their goals are realistic, specific, and attainable.

Our first session

In the first session, I will do a lot more listening than talking. My goal is to get to know you and gather relevant information about your specific concerns and challenges. I will answer any questions you have regarding therapy and address any concerns.
