I’ve taken my son for a few sessions, and I have to say, Dr. Abbe is outstanding! Her ability to connect with kids is impressive, and my son looks forward to his appointments. The insights she provides are valuable, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her patients. Although I wish appointment slots were easier to secure, the quality of care certainly outweighs that inconvenience. If you’re seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate psychologist for your child, I would highly recommend giving her a try. We’ve seen improvements already, and I’m optimistic about our journey ahead!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the support my family has received. When we first reached out, we were navigating some really challenging behavioral issues with our son. The environment was welcoming, and right from the beginning, it felt like a safe space. Dr. Abbe took the time to listen to our concerns and tailored her approach to fit our son's needs. Her expertise is evident, and she helped us develop strategies that we could apply at home, which made a noticeable difference. It's also worth mentioning that Dr. Abbe's ability to communicate with our son was remarkable; he felt comfortable sharing his thoughts and feelings with her, which was a first for us. One minor area for improvement could be the scheduling process; it can be a bit challenging to find an open slot. However, the quality of care has made it well worth the wait. I highly recommend her services to any parent looking for guidance and support!

Great experience overall! I brought my son in for some behavioral issues, and I was impressed with Dr. Abbe's approach. She really took the time to understand what he was going through and offered practical strategies for us to try at home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, which made it easier for my son to open up. One small suggestion would be to improve the waiting area—it felt a bit cramped. Still, the sessions were well worth it, and we are starting to see positive changes in our son's behavior. Would definitely recommend!

Finding the right psychologist for our daughter was no easy task, but we hit the jackpot with this practice! Dr. Abbe is patient, kind, and incredibly insightful. She has a unique way of making children feel at ease, which is crucial. After just a few sessions, we noticed significant improvements in our daughter’s behavior and overall mood. The collaborative approach she takes with parents is refreshing; she provided us with practical tools that we could use at home, which made a big difference in our family dynamics. We appreciate the thoroughness and attention to detail in her assessments. My only constructive feedback would be to have more flexible hours; sometimes it’s tough to fit appointments into our busy schedule. But aside from that, we are so thankful for the progress our child has made under Dr. Abbe's care.

Absolutely fantastic experience! I brought my daughter here after struggling with her anxiety for months, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress she’s made. Dr. Abbe is wonderful—she connects with kids effortlessly and really gets to the heart of their worries. The techniques she taught my daughter have empowered her to cope better with her feelings. I also loved how she included me in the process; I felt like a partner in my daughter’s healing journey. The only downside was the wait time for appointments, but given how great the sessions are, I’d gladly wait a bit longer! Overall, highly recommend her for any parent seeking help for their child.
