Inclusive Counseling

Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Abby Newport (she/her), and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. People have described me as authentic, warm, and playful. My goal is to provide you with a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment to sort through issues and help you make changes you want to see in your life.

 

I attended Miami University where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology (2015), and Xavier University earning a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2018).

 

I enjoy helping teens, young adults, and adults of all backgrounds and walks of life reach their goals. I am passionate about helping clients work through issues related to anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism). My counseling style is strengths-based, empathic, and collaborative. I incorporate various counseling techniques tailored to each individual by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based, person-centered and relational approaches. I also often use play techniques and creative arts approaches.

 

My work is founded on developing a strong therapeutic relationship by being genuine, transparent, and nurturing to encourage growth and promote healing.  

 

We will work together to create goals, process through stressors, and practice coping skills to provide what you need to move your life forward with strength and confidence.
