Abbey Lanford

Welcome to Ataraxia Counseling, as a mental health therapist I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for individuals seeking solace, understanding, and personal growth.

With two years of experience and six years of education in the field of mental health, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to evidence-based practices using a multicultural and feminist-based lens. My educational background includes a Masters in Science from Jacksonville University with a focus in marriage and family counseling that has been complemented by ongoing training in trauma work, such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), and Gottman Couples Counseling.

I am passionate about staying on top of the latest research, sociopolitical issues, and therapeutic innovations. This commitment to my ongoing professional development allows me to offer you the most effective and up-to-date interventions and care.

I believe in the transformative power of therapy and the resilience of the human mind. My therapeutic approach is rooted in an integrative approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I believe therapy is for EVERYONE, whether you want learn more about yourself, break free from old patterns, heal past and present trauma, process and understand your emotions, or simply have a listening ear- therapy is for you!​

It takes courage to walk into the unknown and I am honored to walk alongside you in this journey.
