Abigail Kurtz LSW, CDCA

The most beautiful part of being a therapist is holding space for each person who walks into the room to express what is on their heart, release their emotions, and learn more about themselves. I believe therapy is a space for personal healing and improved self-awareness. My passion as a therapist is to guide each person to awareness of the strengths they already possess and empower them to create a life that allows them to thrive. 

My approach incorporates a mixture of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to improve cognitive functioning and the ability to cope with difficult emotions. I believe it is essential to incorporate holistic approaches and work towards complete wellness through practices supporting spiritual, physical, and emotional wellbeing. 

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work at Mount Vernon Nazarene University and my Master’s Degree in Social Work at The University of Kentucky. My career began by focusing on substance use and misuse which led to my work as a mental health therapist with Live Wellness. I have since developed a passion for working with women, young adults, and children. 

I am excited and honored to be a part of your story as you take the next step in caring for yourself.
