Getting to know Abigail Fischel

I often hear from clients starting therapy that they were "trying to be strong" and figure things out on their own, which delayed them in reaching out for support. Folks often say, "I feel weak" for experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and more. I firmly believe that taking the first step to engage in treatment and committing yourself to the process is one of the strongest things you can do. Being happy 24/7 does not require much strength, nor is it a realistic life goal. Confronting and sitting with challenging thoughts, emotions, and relational dynamics requires great strength. Starting therapy is not a sign of weakness but a sign of your resilience and fortitude. I look forward to the opportunity to witness your strength and to sit with you in confronting life's challenges. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling from California State University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively. My approach I use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to help you identify unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to difficulties in reaching your mental health goals. I work from a strength-based, solution-focused perspective, meaning I want to help you find practical tools that fit your life rather than a "one size fits all" approach. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to utilize your strengths to meet your treatment goals. Depending on your needs and preferences, I often incorporate mindfulness practices and assertive communication tools to support increased engagement in self-care and improved interpersonal health. My focus Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or interpersonal connections? In my many years as a therapist, I have found that struggles with mood, anxiety, and relational issues are often connected to our communication style. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
