Angie Abrams

Sometimes, we just need someone to talk to-someone with whom we can share our innermost thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to tell their stories while also establishing goals and solutions to provide the skills and confidence needed to move through the challenges life presents. It is imperative for clients to be genuinely heard and to feel safe and validated as they explore their experiences of both suffering and success. My approach to therapy is founded in the value of the therapeutic relationship. I believe that each client with whom I have the honor to work is an expert in their life and my role is to help facilitate a joint process of growth and improved functioning. I utilize an approach that is direct, collaborative, evidence-based, and appreciate the use of humor. I utilize CBT, DBT, TFCBT, mindfulness, and other skills-based interventions to support learning, symptom management, and behavioral change.

I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow at any time in their lives and that there is no limit to human capacity. I believe unhealthy learned behaviors can be identified and such behaviors/patterns can be modified or replaced entirely with healthier behaviors. I believe in honoring the uniqueness of each person by tailoring therapeutic interventions and treatment strategies to meet individual client needs. My approach is focused, creative, and non-judgmental. I strive to make each session together count and am committed to helping clients draw upon their strengths and personal experiences in order to overcome barriers and to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
