My ideal clients are those who know where they want to go but need support in getting there—whether that’s building healthier relationships, asking for that raise, or creating stronger boundaries and habits. I strive to provide a grounding, compassionate space for clients during life’s difficult moments.
I often work with individuals navigating relationship anxiety and conflict—whether in connection with parents, partners, or peers. Additionally, as a proud sister of two brothers with dev. disabilities, I have a special understanding of the challenges and strengths that come with being a family member of someone with disabilities.

Do you wish you had someone to talk to who won't judge you? Do you try to talk about things that bother you or make you anxious and people either don't listen or say you're overreacting? Are you hiding part of yourself because you are afraid of what people will think? Are you going through something but your friends and family don't want to hear about it anymore? Do you just wish someone could help you straighten out your thoughts? Do you have issues from your past that are affecting your present? Do you just want someone you can talk to about anything? Do you want to see measurable results relatively quickly? Send me an email

Much of my work focuses on men’s relational and emotional well-being, especially those who present as high-functioning while quietly struggling. My clients often initially measure their identity or worth through success, responsibility, or likability within community. Beneath that, hidden shame, fear of rejection, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing have left them feeling anxious, disconnected, or unknown. I also support gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating the tension between authenticity and attachment, exploring how early experiences of conditional belonging shaped the ways they relate to themselves and others

If you’re feeling stuck in overwhelm, anxiety, trauma or self-sabotage and can’t think your way out—it’s not you. These patterns live in the nervous system and aren’t accessible through cognitive insight alone. Somatic work unlocks your body's natural capacity to resolve stuck patterns and restore balance.
By bringing the body into the conversation, completing motor impulses, and reorganizing around safety- deep, subtle shifts occur at the root level. This is exactly how you are wired to adapt and change. Somatic work can be a powerful complement to traditional talk therapy—or stand alone as an effective path to healing.

Hi, I’m Abigail Kreisinger, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing therapy services in Georgia. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or struggling with constant worry, you’re not alone. Many clients also come to therapy feeling stuck around identity exploration as an LGBTQ+ individual, concerns related to disordered eating, or difficulty connecting with others and enjoying daily life. These patterns and coping strategies often develop for important reasons—they may have helped you feel safe or in control in the past. At the same time, you may find that they no longer serve you now.

I have nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare, emergency medicine, physical therapy, and mental health services.
I seek to provide a safe therapeutic space that honors your experiences and assists you in achieving your goals. I resonate with Carl Rogers, who wrote, “When I accept myself as I am, then I can change.” I see counseling as a process of healing that invites you to tell your story without shame, build on your strengths, and discover untapped internal resources in collaboration with a professional guide. As you author the next chapter of your life, a transformation is possible where you move from surviving to living the life you want to live.

I believe to sit with another’s story is sacred trust. We do not come to therapy because we are broken—we come because we are human. Within the tender places of motherhood, the unspoken ache of family, and the quiet struggles of the self, there is a strength waiting to rise. In our therapy, I will hold space for that strength, remind you of your wholeness, and walk beside you as you step fully into the life that has always been yours.

I enjoy working with high-achieving professionals and leaders who carry significant responsibility in their organizations, families, or communities. Many are navigating burnout, pressure, trauma history, or the isolation that comes with being “the strong one.” I have particular experience supporting individuals from historically marginalized communities and those navigating complex systems and identities, while welcoming anyone seeking clarity, resilience, and sustainable success.
