Abby Foster, LCSW

The reason Abby achieves great results with her patients is that she helps them figure out what factors are getting in the way and preventing them from reaching their full potential.

Abby uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with research from other fields (e.g., health, relationships, learning) to help people move closer to their goals.

Abby’s treatment style focuses on helping her patients:

• reframe thoughts
• reverse negative thinking
• gain a new perspective on what is contributing to anxiety, depression, OCD, and other mental health diagnoses.

Patients feel understood because they are actively involved in creating a plan to slowly build effective skills, strategies, and confidence. They feel in control again.

As a result, people overcome seemingly impossible challenges and get back to being healthy and productive.

In a session with Abby, you can expect to feel supported, encouraged, challenged, and educated. Abby provides a judgement-free space, where you can expect to make discoveries, connections, laugh, feel hopeful. Your successes are recognized and celebrated.

Abby’s experience of practicing medical social work for 6 years, as well as her personal experience as a childhood leukemia survivor, has allowed her to gain a unique perspective professionally and personally.

Abby also served as the former Executive Assistant of Camelot for Children, a nonprofit for seriously ill and disabled children.

As a result of these experiences, Abby has a distinct knowledge of the mental, physical, and emotional challenges individuals and families may encounter in some of the most difficult times of their lives.

In her spare time, Abby enjoys spending time with her family and her dog. She enjoys baking, walking and being outdoors, and a good game night (with amazing appetizers, of course!).
