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.
