Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Dana Abbey and I have been a fully licensed psychotherapist established in the mental health field for 13 years. Over the course of these years I have worked in settings such as emergency rooms, residential treatment programs, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, schools, and outpatient clinics. This has afforded me a well rounded understanding of all aspects of mental healthcare. In the recent years I have incorporated telehealth into practice, allowing greater accessibility and convenience to more clients while providing the same results as in person therapy.

My approach to therapy

You are a unique individual and deserve more than cookie-cutter "workbook" therapy when meeting with a licensed therapist. It is important for a clinician to take all aspects of your health into account when formulating an approach to your treatment. Using the biopsychosocial model of psychotherapy, I will create a treatment plan that includes information about your physical health, thoughts, emotions, and social influences that impact your well-being. After our initial session I will then make recommendations of the most effective forms of psychotherapy and interventions for your presenting concerns.

What you can expect from me

It is normal to be nervous your first session! I understand you are coming to treatment at an extremely vulnerable time in your life. Please be assured it’s my highest priority to provide a compassionate, safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be your most authentic self.
