Traci Abraham

I built my practice around the people who are often overlooked in mental health care — those working in corrections, healthcare, and agriculture; women processing trauma they've never had space to name; caregivers running on empty; rural Ohioans who've had few options close to home.

I bring a background that's genuinely different: seven years inside the prison system, a Farm-Stress Certification from Ohio State University, and training as a Certified Reiki Master. I hold an LPCC-S license — Ohio's supervisory-level clinical credential — and I'm completing my EMDR certification for trauma-focused work.

What that means for you is a therapist who's seen complexity, has the tools to meet it, and won't flinch at what you bring into the room.

My approach is integrative — I don't use one framework because people don't fit one framework. Depending on what you're carrying, I draw on CBT to address thought patterns, EMDR for trauma processing, Emotion-Focused Therapy to work with the feelings underneath the surface, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to build awareness and regulation.

I'm also a Certified Reiki Master. For clients open to it, integrating energy-based and somatic practices alongside traditional therapy can support deeper healing — particularly for trauma, chronic stress, and grief.

Everything is tailored to you. We'll build your plan together, not hand you someone else's template.

The first session is about getting oriented — your story, what's brought you here, and what matters most to you right now. I'll listen more than I talk. There's no rush to cover everything, and no pressure to have it figured out before we begin.

By the end, we'll have a sense of where to focus and what working together will look like. I work with a lot of people who've been in high-demand roles their whole lives — so I also know the first step of asking for help isn't a small thing. I don't take it for granted.
