Specializing in Anxiety, OCD and Grief
Proven methods.
Measurable results.
Areas of Specialty
Since I began practicing, my passion has been helping those experiencing Anxiety, OCD and Grief. These areas are where I focus nearly all my work. By specializing, as opposed to being a ‘general’ child psychologist, I’m able to more intensively and effectively help clients achieve real results, faster.
-
Anxiety
While we all experience heightened anxiety from time to time, anxiety disorders cause significant and persistent distress, and symptoms interfere with daily functioning.
-
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that occurs when a person becomes caught in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
-
Grief and Loss
Grief is a normal reaction to loss. Everyone grieves differently, and there is no timeline. There are no universal stages to grief as it is an individual experience.
Telehealth isn’t just an option. It’s a great option.
COVID-19 forced us all to find new ways of doing things. Therapy is no exception. Interestingly, what began as a necessity is now a significant part of my practice. For many of my clients, telehealth not only works, it works better, and it allows me to extend myself well beyond my immediate geographic area. If you or your child has never participated in a virtual session, contact me. You’ll be surprised at how engaging and effective this type of treatment can be.

Pronouns: she/her/hers
I’m Dr. Alison Bomba.
As a licensed psychologist based in Frederick, MD, I have been treating children, adolescents and young adults since 2007. I received my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University/Washington, D.C. I provide results-driven, compassionate care and use ethical, evidence-based practices to effectively treat various psychiatric conditions.
Just as important as my credentials is the way in which I work with my clients. I am actively and directly engaged. I’m here to discuss and discern. I want nothing more than to provide the best options, even if that means referring clients to other professionals who may be better suited to their needs.
I’m also an active member of the Frederick, MD community. Being involved is something I find incredibly rewarding, both professionally and personally.
