Meet Michael Abdon

I’m so glad you’re here!

For a large chunk of my life, I felt like I had to do everything alone. Coming out as gay. Dealing with mental illness in a foreign country. Even simply deciding what I wanted to major in in college. I thought I was all alone. And it became very overwhelming and scary! But the truth was, I was never alone. And no matter what you’re going through, you aren’t alone anymore either!

In therapy, I emphasize creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions and relational patterns openly. Drawing from the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work collaboratively with you to uncover underlying emotional needs, identify negative cycles of interaction, and facilitate new ways of relating that promote security and strength!

With couples, I focus on helping couples break free from patterns of conflict and disconnection, and fostering secure emotional bonds.

With individuals, I assist in navigating personal challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues, through an emotion-focused lens.

What you can expect when working with me:

First and foremost, your time with me is YOUR time! We talk about what you want to talk about. You can expect me to challenge you. Get you to think deeper and see what’s below the surface! Because when you can name something, you can defeat it! You can also expect little “assignments” that are designed to help you reach your goals.
With me, you are SAFE.
