WELCOME to Abrams & Associates Inc: Center for Adult and Child Psychotherapy
We offer individual and couples therapy for adults, individual and group therapy for teens, play therapy for children and family therapy.
We practice out of network which means our clients pay up front and submit their invoices to their insurance company for reimbursement in accordance to their insurance policy for mental health services. Please see our payment and fees page.
We know what it takes to contact a therapist for help when life gets overwhelming or you are experiencing an adjustment involving major change and loss. We are here and devoted to creating a safe relationship for healing, learning and growing.
Our therapists have many years of experience with adults, couples, teens or children.
Our primary goal is to listen and learn about your needs and support a process of learning and problem-solving that brings you to a greater sense of well-being.
There are many techniques to promote improved mental health. Just being seen and heard is key for releasing stress. Slowing down in order to sort through and untie the many threads that hold you back or keep you stuck will relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression.
In addition, our therapists may use cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness skills and/or a family systems approach to help you build a better self-understanding with greater capacity to work through social and emotional challenges.
Testimonials
What people are saying about Abrams and Associates!
I am doing well, and I will definitley keep referring patients to the practice. My therapist helped me so much after the loss of my father
Not only do you have such incredible knowledge, but you have the skills to present your vast knowledge in a way that is easy to understand and even more importantly, easy to implement. You have no idea how many of your suggestions have already reduced tension, yelling and anxiety in our home.
The lecture was wonderful! I truly gathered some wonderful ideas! I would love to participate in future parent-support group meetings. Thank you for providing such an informative and real talk!
We came to your group practice when our lives were in the midst of a crisis. You were able to establish rapport with our daughter immediately and earned her trust in a short period of time–a not insignificant feat considering our daughter’s basic mistrust of people trying to help her. You diagnosed problems that had been missed by other practitioners and gave all of us a new and much needed perspective on our daughter’s challenges. You trained and empowered our daughter to manage and cope with her problems and guided us in making some very difficult decisions regarding treatment.
I cannot believe that this child, with whom we did not know what to do, is the very same child. She is so bright, so comfortable with herself, so positive. The fighting has slowed to a crawl, mornings are better too, because the tension between us and in the home is gone. It’s reflected everywhere, and for that I am indebted to the therapy we received with you all.
Just wanted to let you know how things are going. Since I came and talked to you, I have NEVER felt so good about my body. I decided not to diet anymore, and to try to let my body listen to itself for the first time ever. I went home from that session and wrote down everything you told me so I could refer to it when I was feeling down about myself. You gave me the permission I needed to love the way I look, and to stop restricting what I eat. So far, no more binges.
