Getting to know Dr. Abigail Candelari

The type of therapy that I specialize in is therapy for anxiety disorders, OCD, adjustment, and perinatal and postpartum issues. My clients may feel like they have stressors holding them down, have difficulties functioning healthily in relationships, may feel weighed down by physical and emotional problems related to anxiety, and many have experienced traumatic experiences. Therapy can help with all of these issues. I have been a therapist since 2017 and became fully licensed as a psychologist in 2022. I have worked in community mental health, hospital, and private practice settings. I am passionate about my field of work. I love getting to know each of my clients and watching them heal and grow, building on past experiences to build new coping skills. My therapeutic approach is primarily Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I tailor my therapeutic approach to each individual, often incorporating aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I value therapist fit, and I understand the strength that it takes to reach out for help. I take the time to get to know my clients and the people who are important to them. In our first session we will get to know each other and see if we are a good fit for each other. Typically, sessions start off weekly and then become more and more spaced out as you continue to get better and need less support. The goal is for you to be able to use the skills you learn in therapy on your own. Therapy can have lasting effects on how you view yourself, the world, and your ability to handle whatever comes your way. My goal is to give you the skills you need to live your life with ease and peace of mind. My areas of focus include: Anxiety | Support for Perinatal and Postpartum Anxiety and Depression | Life Transitions and Adjustment Disorders / Substance use issues
