Allison Barton, LMFT
Therapist + Practice Owner
Accepting clients in California
As an out-of-network provider, I do not bill insurance directly. By choosing to invest in therapy outside of insurance, your care stays completely private, and you have full freedom in how we structure our work together.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No, I am considered an out of network provider for insurance companies. This means I can provide you with a superbill after sessions and you can submit this to your insurance for full or partial reimbursement. Please be aware that the full fee would be collected at the end of the session.
-
Yes! I am currently accepting new clients for telehealth appointments.
I am only licensed in the state of California, meaning all clients must reside in California in order to engage in therapy with me.
-
I am a telehealth only provider and all sessions will be held virtually.
-
I accept all major credit cards, HSA, and FSA. Payment will be collected at the end of each session.
-
I have a firm 24 hour cancellation policy. When you schedule with me, I am reserving the time for you and if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, I do not have enough time to allow another client to schedule. For this reason, if you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, a cancellation fee will apply.
-
Before starting therapy, you will be asked to fill out intake paperwork, including consent forms and intake forms detailing your current struggles and your history. In our first session, we will discuss policies and procedures, frequency of sessions, discuss relevant history, your goals, and decide on a treatment plan together. You may ask any questions you have about the therapy process.

The No Surprises Act (H.R. 133) was designed to protect you as the consumer from receiving unexpected medical bills. You have the right to a “good faith estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost prior to initiating treatment or before your scheduled appointment.

You can schedule a free consultation here. On our consultation call, I’ll be able to answer any questions you have, learn more about you, and understand your goals for therapy. If we connect, we can schedule an intake session to begin therapy.
