Abdiasha (Abby) Coleman, LMSW

Psychotherapist

Abby Coleman’s work is grounded in the belief that every person carries strengths that can fuel healing, resilience, and meaningful change. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Howard University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Services from the University of Bridgeport. Her experience spans private practice, nonprofit, community mental health, school-based, and crisis intervention settings.

She supports clients experiencing:

  • anxiety,
  • depression,
  • trauma

and works with grief, stress, relationship concerns, gender identity, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and communication difficulties. Abby understands that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so she focuses on helping clients better understand their experiences, strengthen coping and communication skills, and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Philosophy and Approach

Abby’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and person-centered. She recognizes that every client brings a unique history, identity, cultural background, and set of personal goals, so rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, she tailors treatment to each individual’s needs.

Her trauma-informed approach emphasizes trust, choice, emotional safety, and empowerment. Working together, Abby and her clients identify concerns, recognize existing strengths, set meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies to use outside of therapy, drawing on solution-focused techniques and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Whether you are managing everyday stress, navigating a major life transition, healing from trauma, or working to improve a relationship, Abby offers compassionate guidance and evidence-based support at every step.
