I don’t want to waste any time by having you read a condensed paragraph of my experience, skills, schooling, etc, because, honestly, that is just plain boring. But what I would like you to know, is that I am a competent clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in various settings and communities. I truly believe in meeting individuals, families, and couples where they are at to begin to effectively identify their wants and needs for change while developing their strengths. I offer a supportive environment that allows you to feel comfortable, empowered, challenged, and understood. I can be funny, empathetic, thoughtful, and creative in our work together, which I feel makes a huge difference in the progress of the clients I work with. In sessions, we will collaborate on the barriers, challenges, or issues that you are facing that is preventing you from experiencing a positive life. Our work together can help you create your sense of self, learn and utilize positive coping mechanisms, challenge potential avoidances, explore your negative thought processes, identify unhealthy vs healthy behaviors, reflect on past experiences, increase your self-esteem, develop realistic plans of self-care, increase your ability to stand up for yourself or set boundaries, effectively manage your child’s difficult behavior, learn ways to reconnect with your partner, transition into young adulthood, learn ways to build friendships, navigate the world of being transgender, walk by your side through your journey of grief. In sessions, we will laugh, cry, vent, scream, and sometimes just be……the process is sacred and your willingness to allow yourself to be vulnerable and open to change is the first step in making an appointment. I often say to clients that “finding the right therapist is like trying on a new pair of shoes, sometimes they are comfortable right out of the box, or sometimes you walk in them for awhile and decide they aren’t so comfortable and they just sit in the back of your closet.” My goal is to allow you to feel comfortable from the start as you begin your journey of transformation. I also understand and value the importance of supporting you in making a referral to trusted colleague that would be a “better fit” for you and your needs. We are all in this together, this thing we call life, let me help you make it more positive and fulfilling! https://www.positivemindllc.com/abby daily 0.75 2017-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593189b7893fc0ee806b730b/1499306729083-DFUNZZ68E6GKCZHTWAHO/image-asset.jpeg Abby Hi. I’m Abby. Thank you for taking the time to look at our site, and learn more about who we are and what we do at Positive Mind Counseling. A little background about me. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) with a master’s degree from the University of Rhode Island. I completed my undergraduate education at Rhode Island College, where I received two bachelor’s degrees – one in Psychology and another in Addiction Studies. During my career, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings and with diverse populations, each challenging me to grow as a person and a helper in the community. I work with people who suffer from depression and anxiety, those struggling with grief and loss, adults suffering from substance abuse, and couples facing difficulty communicating and lacking marital satisfaction. I support people who are experiencing uncertainty about their life and managing stress. I focus on helping people begin to take care of themselves in healthier and more satisfying ways. Through my work, I collaborate with various agencies including DCF, the courts, probation, as well as treatment facilities. I believe in a client-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused approach to treatment. Whether you are coming to therapy as an individual, a couple or a family we will work together to identify your goals. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment that allows for vulnerability and healing. I believe in order for progress to be made my relationship with clients must be built on open communication, respect, honesty, and of course some humor. My approach the treatment includes the following: · Working with you at your pace, helping to uncover and identify strengths you have overlooked or underestimated; · Collaborating to work on real life, practical solutions to your concerns; · Identifying and replacing inaccurate and unproductive self-talk patterns that have kept you stuck; · Treating you with respect, compassion, empathy and honesty, while also challenging you to explore yourself in new ways; and · Exploring and refining past experiences as a way to heal and take back feelings of control over your life. If you are reading this there is likely something you are not satisfied about in your life. Oftentimes, people find themselves dissatisfied in their lives because they have lost touch with their authentic self. We will work to re-connect, or maybe find for the first time, your authentic self. We will work on practicing self-compassion and self-care. Maybe you have been going through life “yes-ing” everyone when really you don’t want to or aren’t making time for yourself – we can work on ways to communicate more assertively and set healthier boundaries with others. We can work on ways to more effectively respond to people and situations in your life so that you feel empowered to advocate for yourself in positive ways. Together we will identify your wants and needs, and find concrete ways to implement positive changes into your life. At one time or another everyone finds themselves living on autopilot, simply going through the motions of life. Now is the time to make the decision to live a conscious life – the life you truly want, a positive life. It would be my privilege to help you on your journey. https://www.positivemindllc.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2022-02-24 https://www.positivemindllc.com/michelle daily 0.75 2022-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593189b7893fc0ee806b730b/5b1cc837-e358-4ff1-bc6a-1da2d803a88f/MD+Headshot.jpg Michelle https://www.positivemindllc.com/samantha daily 0.75 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593189b7893fc0ee806b730b/240b8724-b18c-44c5-a26d-452431dc3fa8/Sam+Profile+Pic.png Samantha https://www.positivemindllc.com/amanda daily 0.75 2025-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593189b7893fc0ee806b730b/6375675b-3d10-46c8-862e-9900c6a43b20/Amanda+Headshot.jpg Amanda https://www.positivemindllc.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593189b7893fc0ee806b730b/476a9207-7ebb-43b1-b1f8-4e05edbff152/Virginia+Headshot.png Virginia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
