ABIGAIL CARLSON MSW, Sisw

Every Age Every Stage Clinician

I work primarily with teens, young adults, adults, and elder adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and racial & cultural challenges. Additionally, I work with couples in collaborative spaces founded on active-listening. Together, we will use approaches in CBT, motivational interviewing, somatic work, and grounding to grow.


I work from a strengths-based approach rooted in humanism and entirely judgment-free. This means we reflect to find strengths and success you may have overlooked and apply them to challenging areas. While I have clinical knowledge and 4 years’ experience that can guide us, we work toward goals you have for your life overall. You are the expert of your experiences, and I’m glad to have you on my team.

"A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity;

a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material;

a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits."


- Carl Rogers
