Getting to know Sebrena Abanum

Hi there, I'm Sebrena! I identify as a Black, Millennial therapist with a passion for destigmatizing mental health. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. Throughout my professional experience, I have successfully worked with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relational challenges, to name a few. My approach I utilize person-centered, attachment-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’m also a trained EMDR therapist, providing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help clients obtain emotional relief, develop the ability to manage emotions, and improve psychological functioning. My focus I assist clients in overcoming anxiety and interpersonal challenges by processing, healing, and increasing their understanding of how their childhood impacts their adult life. I also help clients increase their self-awareness by challenging and reframing negative thoughts. My communication style I use a warm yet direct tone, combined with active and empathetic listening, to create a safe space for clients. My journey to mental healthcare I understand how challenging life can be when facing difficulties alone. Growing up in a low socioeconomic community, I developed a strong desire to help others make a positive impact on their lives by improving their mental well-being. My goals for you I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, supporting clients in obtaining tools they may be missing to achieve their goals. My first session with you In our first session, we’ll start with brief introductions, review intake documents, and develop treatment plan goals—goals that you would like to work on with me in therapy.
