Abby is a truly gifted family therapist with decades of experience helping children and families through their darkest days, and the courage to bring both her humanity and expertise to her sessions everyday. I got to know Abby over the course of a full-year intensive training program for helpers who support parents, and she has since become one of the colleagues that I trust most to go to for professional consultation about my own work with clients. The amazing work she is doing to help parents become the healers in their families is inspiring, and so needed in the world. Her demonstrated lifelong commitment and specialization in teaching parents new ways of understanding their children's most challenging behaviors, combined with her sensitivity and awareness that parents of children with big behaviors are seeking practical tools and strategies that actually work, make her one of my favorite clinicians to refer clients to. You and your family are in good hands with Abby!
