Adam Abraham

Adam Abraham, 006553. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as both modalities help me, and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to chart a path forward.

My approach

My counseling approach is primarily person-centered, which involves creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I also incorporate CBT techniques to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns.

My focus

I work with older adults who are dealing with loneliness, adult children, and phase of life issues. I work with Parents of adolescent children who are having communication issues and power struggles affecting their relationships and the general population with social anxiety and managing to create and sustain effective relationships.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being raised by my grandfather and he generally kept things to himself and would never complain about anything. I saw how that affected him and he thought if he discussed his issues to others that people would perceive him as weak and vulnerable, and he was very depressed, and it affected his overall health. I knew if he had spoken to a therapist, it would have helped him tremendously and I want to make sure that I can be that person to support a person who may be thinking and feeling like my grandfather.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we will work together to set goals and track your progress.

My first session with you

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you have been feeling recently, and I will ask questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
