About
I believe that psychiatric care should focus on providing clients with individualized treatment plans to meet their specific needs, which may include medication management and supportive psychotherapy.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 10 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My approach integrates both psychotherapy and medication management to address a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I strive to help each client reach their optimal level of functioning physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from the University of Texas. My approach blends psychopharmacology and holistic methods to create treatment plans that support the whole person, mind and body. I believe in fostering self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance through collaborative and individualized care.
Sometimes when dealing with life, you may feel alone, but you are not. I invite you to take the next step in your mental health journey. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose and peace.

My family, friends, and I have had decades grappling with ADHD, the autism spectrum, and that balance between others and ourselves.
Abe Clabby is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in treating relationship issues, workaholism, trauma, codependency, depression, anxiety, autism, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Abe spent the last 6 years at the Love Is Respect hotline and the National Domestic Violence Hotline, where he has seen the best and the worst that family and relationships have to offer. He is the author of "Cool Off the Burnout: Feel Better at High-Pressure Jobs".
Abe completed his master's degree in Counseling at St. Edward's University, where he earned a 3.7 GPA and spent an extra semester taking courses in marriage and family therapy. In postgraduate training like the Gottman method, Abe found what some couples do that makes them thrive. There are things that help with a partner, but they also help with our parents, our jobs, and our friends. Abe uses motivational interviewing in a client-centered way, empowering people to change the narrative and find an existential purpose for what they do and using the tools of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to get around the obstacles where people feel stuck.
Abe works with a lot of good-hearted people. They're compassionate and want to do good in the world and to help people they love. Caring people can be taken for granted, taken advantage of, and even hurt and used. They can be left feeling empty, unfulfilled, and unloved. But with the right mindset, boundaries, and self-care, they can be respected, appreciated, and live a life that they're proud of. Abe helps people care for others and in turn, care for themselves. With therapy, people can troubleshoot their troubles in jobs and relationships. Everyone has more options than they realize.

When working with clients who have experienced trauma, I assist the client in learning mindfulness practices and ways of thinking that assist the client in developing a repertoire of skills to support healing and resilience. The cultivation of mindfulness anchors individuals in the present moment with compassionate awareness. Through mindful breathing exercises, body scans, and guided meditations, clients learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering self-awareness and acceptance. Additionally, cognitive restructuring techniques empower clients to challenge and reframe maladaptive beliefs stemming from traumatic experiences and develop coping strategies to manage distressing symptoms. Collaboratively, the client and I will navigate the intricacies of trauma processing, fostering resilience and a path toward healing and growth.
The specific tools that I use with a client depend on their individual needs and circumstances. The following are often helpful:
I check in with clients about their progress with their goals and the improvements they are seeing in their symptoms every session. Meaningful progress is evident as the list of progress and successes gets longer and the list of challenges gets shorter.
Clients' efforts to implement the skills they are learning and the goals that they set between sessions are essential to making progress in therapy.
Clients can prepare for therapy by thinking about what they want to achieve, in addition to what it is they want to move away from.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
