If you’re carrying old hurts that won’t seem to fade, feeling on edge with anxiety, or noticing trauma echo in unexpected moments, you’re not alone. Maybe communication with your partner feels stuck, family patterns keep repeating, or you’re moving through divorce or chronic illness and craving steadier ground. There is room here for all of it.
I work with individuals, couples (including LGBTQ+ and interfaith premarital), and families who want to grow—not perfectly, but honestly. Together we slow down, make sense of your story, and practice new ways of relating to yourself and each other so you can feel more choice, connection, and calm.
I’m Xander Abrams, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with 38 years of experience. My style is warm, clear, and practical: mindfulness and Buddhist-informed care to help you center; CBT to untangle anxious, self-critical loops; ACT to align actions with your values; and couples, family, and conflict-resolution work to rebuild trust and communication. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, anxiety (including GAD), anger, codependency, family-of-origin issues, bipolar disorder, and the complex layers of chronic illness.
If this resonates, I’d be honored to meet you. Reach out for a gentle first conversation, and we’ll take the next step together at your pace.ars of experience
