Abby Fleeter, MS

I specialize in:

Does this sound familiar?

• Are you and your partner(s) feeling a sense of disconnection, including changes in intimacy or trouble navigating expectations or trust in your romantic relationship?
• Have you experienced a reproductive health loss and are hoping for a space to process?
• Are you feeling stuck in patterns of conflict with your romantic partner, friends, family, or other people in your life?
• Are you a teen or a parent/guardian of a teen who is struggling with self-esteem or academic pressure?

I Can Help.

• I bring compassion, authenticity, and a sense of humor into my work with clients. My hope is to offer an open and supportive space for you to explore your experiences, relationships, fears, and strengths. We will work together to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you can feel heard and be yourself.
• I use narrative and emotionally focused therapy approaches to support individuals, couples, and families in sharing and learning from their stories. This includes exploring the emotional impact of the narratives you have about yourself and taking leaps to try out new ways of relating to yourself and others. I also work from a systemic perspective, which means that I’m interested in understanding how you are impacted by your relationships, communities, cultural contexts, and multigenerational stories.
• I have a background in community mental health and I believe that healing happens every day in community spaces – through community-based music, art, sports, and connection. In therapy, exploring how you shape and are shaped by your community can be incredibly empowering.
• Whether working with individuals, families, or couples/intimate partners, I believe that small changes can lead to bigger changes as we navigate the joy, loss, and hope that show up in our lives.

What can you expect?

• A sense of hope for re-connection and intimacy in your romantic partnerships.
• A deeper understanding of your emotional experiences and needs, and how those needs show up in different ways in your life.
• In couples/intimate partner therapy, an opportunity to explore and practice ways of feeling more connected with each other when tackling challenges, as partners rather than as opponents.
• Greater belief in yourself and your own capacity for growth, healing, and connection.
