We are a team of highly skilled folks who serve a wide variety of client needs. Our agency specifically focuses on support people who have struggled with trauma or complex trauma needs, including child sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, religious trauma, refugee experiences and survivors of torture. We also support clients who are navigating key identity struggles including transgender and gender diverse clients, racial identity and trauma, grief and loss, and relationship and life transitions. We are experts in multicultural care, and in experiences of anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction and BPD.
ABCD Therapy only employs therapists who show up where you are, and support you in your goals. We all engage from a humanistic perspective and we trust you as the client to be able to find the skills and abilities you have with our support. We offer a variety of evidence-based therapeutic interventions including narrative therapy, CBT, DBT and ACT.
We'd love to have the opportunity to build connection with you! Every one of our clinicians knows that it's a big leap of faith to step into therapy, and we are ready to show up with you exactly where you are. Our compassionate, patient and humanistic approaches are here to help you feel safe and capable in session and in your life. Please contact us!

Every member of our team brings their own style, but we all focus on how we can meet you where you are, understand your goals and needs, and work together to reach these. We believe that therapy does not have to be painful or distressing and we are here to support you in moments that may be more difficult. We see improvements in the first month of sessions and sustained improvement thereafter.
