Abi Tesfaye, LPC Associate
(She/Her) |
Counselor:
Adults, Couples, Teens
Abi aims to create a space where her clients feel safe to show up as their most authentic selves. She has found that the relationship between clients and therapists works best when built on genuine acceptance, mutual trust, and compassionate accountability. Abi believes that everyone deserves access to healing spaces—including those who have been marginalized due to their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other aspect of their identity.
Working with teens, adults, and couples, Abi helps her clients foster healthy relationships and build self-confidence. She specializes in working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationship issues, sexual abuse, and grief. Additionally, she is well-equipped to support clients with first- and second-generation cultural issues and those exploring spiritual transition or deconstruction.
Through the use of narrative therapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy), and EMDR training, Abi provides her clients with tools to deconstruct harmful narratives and change behaviors that no longer serve them.
Abi is supervised by Dr. Maria Haiyasoso, PhD, LPC-S, RPT, NCC.
