About Abigail Eck

I'm a Licensed Psychological Associate supervised by Dr. Michelle Garcia, Psy.D. with experience in individual and group therapy as well as psychological assessment. I have a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Sam Houston State University and a bachelor's degree in both Mathematics and Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University. I work with adults and teenagers struggling with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions in addition to many other mental health concerns.

My therapy style is far from a "one size fits all approach". I realize that no two people are the same, and I tailor my therapy to meet your specific needs as an individual. I'm well-trained in many forms of therapy and base my treatment approach on your specific issues, personality, and history. My clients consistently say that I am warm, empathetic, genuine, and open-minded. I'll listen more than I'll talk. I'll give you tools to manage and overcome the discomfort, fear, or pain you're facing. I'll focus on you and help you find your voice. I would love to help you unload the burdens you bear and work together to restore a happy and healthy life.
