Abigail Watterson

My communication style

I prioritize active listening and open-ended questions with space for thoughtful reflection. I'm enthusiastic, encouraging, and warm, moving toward action while maintaining a relaxed presence. I'll never pressure you to discuss topics you're not ready for or make changes you don't desire.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm passionate about righting the wrongs of mental healthcare and advocating for minorities. My dedication to LGBTQIQA+ mental health and suicide prevention drives my commitment to helping people survive and thrive in meaningful, fulfilling ways.

My goals for you

We'll work at a pace that feels right for you, breaking goals into manageable and clear steps that move you forward without overwhelming you.

Our first session

I want you to understand what counseling is and what you can expect from me. My goal is to gather the details needed to help you form coping strategies and an action plan while earning your trust. Confidentiality is paramount—I want you to feel safe that your information is respected and I'm ready to listen.
