Professional statement

Abigail Andrews is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She has experience supporting individuals who struggle with self-esteem, identity development, and stress management. Her goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel comfortable exploring the challenges they face without judgment.

Her approach to therapy is client-centered, and compassionate, grounded in unconditional positive regard. Abigail incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques and strength-based interventions, while also using metaphors, reframing and gentle humor to make insights more meaningful. She believes therapy is a process of perspective-shifting and meaning-making, empowering clients to see themselves and their lives through a new lens.

Since completing her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings including schools, outpatient clinics, and private practice, which has equipped her to meet clients where they are and adapt treatment to fit their unique needs. She is passionate about walking with her clients as they navigate their personal growth and move toward greater confidence, clarity and well-being!


Message to clients

Feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life? Your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself and it is creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and low energy, like you're about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox to help you embrace control in your life.

While working together, I will offer you the skills and ability to explore and enhance your understanding of yourself. I look at therapy as your personal GPS or compass; to help guide you on the path so you can arrive at the destination you desire in life. You know yourself best and while using a person center approach, it'll allow you to feel empowered to expand your insight on the patterns you are looking to evolve.

It's not easy to say, “I need help”, but by coming to my page today you are wanting to take that next step. The best way I can describe the therapy process is “The pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of changing”. By showing up for yourself today, you're creating that act of change. Let me guide you through the emotional fog and start the process of self-compassion and acceptance.
