Abigail "Abby" Edber, LMFT #131882

Hello! My name is Abby. With curiosity, humor, and warmth, I find joy in supporting clients as they process significant events, establish personal goals, explore meaning and identity, heal from trauma, and cultivate self-compassion. Through exploration of metaphor and symbolism, I join with clients in shedding light on themes and patterns as a means of increasing understanding and self-awareness. In my clinical practice I utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Depth Psychology, art therapy, trauma-informed approaches, and psychodynamic modalities to provide a holistic and eclectic approach that is individualized for every client. My therapeutic approach is humanistic, strength-based, relational, and client-centered. I opened my private practice after 10 years of providing therapy in the Bay Area in various clinical settings, including community mental health, forensics, residential programs, and group practices. While my clinical background is working within the LGBTQ+ community, I welcome folks of all gender identities and sexual orientations into my practice. I'm happy to offer free phone consultations for prospective clients— please contact me if you're interested!
