Abbie Kwok

Abbie is a psychodynamic therapist who draws from relational, intersubjective, and attachment-based orientations. Centering social justice in both her life and clinical work, she offer trauma-informed care that is attentive to identity, power, and oppression, and informed by intersectional queer liberation, anti-racism, and sex positivity.

Abbie believes that being witnessed, feeling seen, and emotionally attuned to within a consistent therapeutic relationship can be deeply healing. Her approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and direct; she aims to create a safe space free of judgment where all parts of you can feel held as you cultivate curiosity about your inner world. She finds that meaningful change occurs through both insight and lived emotional experience. In your work together, you may bring awareness to past experiences and unconscious patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, including what emerges between the two of you in the therapeutic relationship.

So often, our vision narrows, and we lose sight of the expansiveness of our true selves. Abbie views mental health as a lifelong process of increasing capacity to hold tensions and contradictions, and to navigate uncertainty, liminality, and complexity so we can experience our lives more fully. Together, you can honor the ways your patterns have served you while creating new ways of being, relating, and moving through the world.

Abbie has experience working with adolescents and adults navigating life transitions, sexual and gender diversity and LGBTQIP2SA+ identities, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, racial and cultural issues, creative blocks, and existential stress.

I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to trust another. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey. - Abbie
