Jennifer Abcug is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Manhattan. Her expertise is working with women during times of transition, such as life during and after college, relationship goals, and pregnancy and parenthood. She also specializes in loss and grief and sees clients struggling with issues around chronic illnesses.
Jennifer has a fierce interest in helping women find their voice and takes an integrative approach to treatment, utilizing elements of both skills-based and insight-oriented therapies. Recognizing that raising one’s awareness is the first step toward change, she focuses on each client’s individual narrative as a way to assist them in identifying both adaptive and maladaptive patterns through which they approach transition.
Jennifer is excited to help clients access their innate resiliency in order to move forward during challenging times.
