I woke up this morning eager and excited to share my news with everyone. I’m opening a second office location at 12th and Locust. Read below for details about my practice for individual and group sessions along with seminars. Please pass on to friends, family, and colleagues. I look forward to helping those overcome their challenges and reach their goals!
What challenges do you work with people on?
We all have things we’ve always dreamed of being or doing but life, fear, roadblocks or lack of skills hinders this. Wanting to make changes is the first step; the second is having someone with the knowledge and support to help you reach your dreams. Most often, I work with clients on: relationships, goals, life and career transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My performance clients choose to work on areas of goal setting, nutrition or relationships with food.
I strongly believe that success is 80% mental; small successes lead to big results!
Expertise
With a Masters in Clinical Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and continuing education through the Post Deployment Center and Widener University, Abbey brings clinical experience to her coaching. She has worked as a life coach within the adult population for over five years helping clients with a variety of challenges and is also the lead clinician practicing child and family therapy for a non-profit mental health agency in Philadelphia and New Jersey. Abbey has helped clients identify patterns and rewire their cognitions so they can overcome trauma, build relationships, and successfully make career and life transitions.
Abbey also holds seminars on topics such as goal setting, de-stress techniques and nutrition. She helps athletes and CrossFit members explore how the mind affects both their performance and reaching their goals outside of the box. Through her personal, educational and professional experience, Abbey feels this body/mind connection includes one's relationship with nutrition and has studied with other nutritionists to gain insight into varying perspectives and techniques.
What is different about the kind of coaching and therapy you do?
My experience and education drives the work that I do. I have worked with a variety of clients from different populations with different needs and am able to successfully meet them where they are at. I offer guidance, support, and interventions to my clients that can help them make positive changes the day they leave my office. My clinical background and training sets me apart as I’m trained in assessment, research based interventions and techniques. I will help clients to build skills to identify patterns and overcome challenges. Although I’m trained in assessing and evaluating for diagnosis within the DSM, I do not offer this in my sessions. Instead, if I feel that there are mental health concerns, I will refer the client for further assessment.
How can I tell if coaching is for me?
Coaching is for you if you are feeling "stuck" or unsatisfied in an area of your life. Maybe you have lost some of your passions and joy in life. Maybe you are just going through the motions on a day-to-day basis. Are you struggling to meet personal goals? Are you happy and fulfilled in your career/education, relationships/family, health, athletics, and/or personal development? Have you been neglecting certain aspects of your life? Is something in your past keeping you from moving forward? Does anxiety or depression keep you from socializing or reaching goals?
How to get started?
