Hi there, I'm Emmy Acevedo, LCSW teh owner of Abide Counseling.
My approach
I pull from different evidence based practices to meet your unique needs. Depending on the client need- I utilize, CBT, Client Centered, Relational and Strength Based approaches. If desired, I can also draw from a biblical perspective.
My focus
For the past decade, I have supported clients facing challenges such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and family conflicts. My experience spans a diverse range of individuals, from pre-adolescents to adults.
My communication style
I strive to provide a safe, confidential environment where you can feel supported and understood. My collaborative approach focuses on helping you achieve your desired outcome.
My journey to mental healthcare
My passion for helping others emerged when I began volunteering as a mentor for disadvantaged children and youth. After my first year of college, I shifted my major from Biotechnology to Humanities & Social Sciences, uncertain of the future but guided by my newfound passion. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in various roles—ranging from non-profit organizations and in-home community crisis therapy to school social work and private practice.
My goals for you
After listening to you, we will work together to define your desired outcomes.
