Dr. Abu is trained to understand client conflict in relation to systemic and cultural biases, such as sexism and racism.

Dr. Abu brings a non-judgmental and open atmosphere to therapy. His counseling style utilizes techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. He focuses on teaching clients’ practical skills they can apply to their current challenges in life, and to future challenges they may face. Moreover, he helps clients develop insight into the causes and source of their stress. He assists in identifying maladaptive habits and creates plans to build healthy habits.
