You don’t have to face mental health challenges alone. Our Palo Alto clinic provides compassionate psychotherapy services that offer a clear path toward healing from depression, anxiety, trauma, and other emotional struggles.
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a collaborative treatment approach to support emotional wellness and individual growth in people of all ages. Psychotherapy services focus on helping you gain insights into your thoughts and behaviors while developing genuine coping strategies for lasting well-being.
The therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful container for healing. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based approaches to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, understand patterns in your life, and develop new ways of responding to challenges.
You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Psychotherapy treats a wide range of mental health challenges and life struggles:
including generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety
from mild mood changes to major depressive episodes
processing traumatic experiences and reducing their impact
developing coping skills and building on strengths
navigating major shifts and building relational skills
improving and deepening connections
working through difficult emotions around death or major losses
addressing cognitive and emotional changes after injury
The sooner someone seeks support, the more quickly they can create meaningful change. The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic has extensive experience addressing a wide range of challenges and conditions, helping clients and their families find healing and renewed hope.
At Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, our psychotherapy services support individuals across all life stages.
Adults commonly struggle with mental health conditions, work stress, life transitions, relationship issues, or trauma. Many simply sense that something in life needs to change. Psychotherapy offers gentle guidance needed to work toward greater fulfillment and well-being.
Teenagers face unique, often complex challenges as they develop independence and manage social pressures. Specialized psychotherapy helps teens and their families by promoting autonomy, offering tools, and empowering decision-making during the transition into adulthood.
Children benefit from play and art-based psychotherapy approaches when dealing with trauma, bullying, grief, anxiety, or family dynamic challenges. A blend of developmentally appropriate psychotherapy and parent coaching helps nurture children and bring out their best selves.
Effective psychotherapy requires an individualized approach in an empathic, supportive environment. Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic focuses on non-medication approaches, tailoring numerous proven psychotherapy techniques for each personalized treatment plan:
Psychotherapy can become the foundation for lasting well-being—not only managing symptoms, but building genuine emotional resilience.

Nothing short of amazing, the care, attention, empathy, and avoidance of any kind of stigma, I cannot say enough good things about the Abbey Clinic.Posted on suzanne mcgovernTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Abbey Clinic! They have done an incredible job helping both our children. Our team includes Dr. Abbey, Dr. Kaberta, Rachelle, Julia, Stefanie, and on occasion, Andrew. Our children have made incredible strides in emotion regulation, reading, social interaction, and overcoming sensory struggles. The important thing to note is that doing their program requires a significant financial commitment and a large time commitment. If you are able and willing to do both, you will see jaw dropping improvements. It is hard to be patient, but following the process is worth it. We feel so fortunate to have found them. After years of other therapies and tutoring, neurofeedback has worked the very best. Teachers and family members have been amazed, and I love that my children will have a better future. As a psychologist for work, I was very skeptical about the process because we are taught that neurofeedback is quackery. In a desperate move, we reached out to Abbey Clinic and it took us over a month to make a decision to move forward. They were patient, answered all our questions, and did not pressure us. If your children are the most important people in your life, you are tired of people staring at them in public because of their needs, and you are in a position to give your kids your all, then this is what works. It has worked better than countless OTs, speech, tutors, and other intensive therapies. We have a child that now talks to us in complete sentences and has full conversations, is making steady strides in catching up with reading, and can now participate in social settings in a room with a lot of people. Our other child is steadily overcoming dyslexia. We look forward to seeing where both will go. Do not listen to all the doomsday prophet health practitioners who say your child’s life will be limited, but be patient with the process. Make a commitment for at least 40 sessions to begin with, and see where it takes you. You won’t be sorry!Posted on Kristen ChamblissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My three kids have doubled their attention span and focus. All their grades are now A+, and behavior has been exceptional. Big improvements across the board. More substantially their confidence has increased and now have very few conflicts and get along well. The energy in the home has shifted. Comments about my kids are, “they are going somewhere…” and “what intelligent well behaved children you have.” Their prep and post brain scans were AMAZING to see. They are scientists w this stuff. Dr Abby and his team have been very hospitable, kind and helpful. They have helped my brain optimize to myself and overcome focus issues. My company last year got a valuation into the 9 figures. I know I couldn’t have done it w out them. They are an accelerator and asset for increase’s productivity and profitability as I have seen in my business. But I’ve noticed being more in control of my thoughts and emotions. One of my kids had neurological challenges which have been resolved within cycle of work with them. We have kept our kids on their program… why wouldn’t I keep my kids brain in the gym? His kids won awards for the smartest kids in California… I want to follow the legacy he’s creating… I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!Posted on Isaac JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our service received today on our initial sessions preparation call was excellent. Julia did a first-class, thorough and helpful job. We were very appreciative of her knowledge and helpful approach.Posted on Donovan ByrdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lemme just put in the review first YET i have not particiapted with their activities with Abbey. I would love to participate but just want to genuinely ask how do people afford this without insurance (500+ per therapy sessinon and ~7k evaluation) on a regular basis. Or are there any other ways that can compensate the fees. Any insights are greatly appreciated!Posted on Cancy HanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a successful startup founder but in the last 20 years I've spent over $250k on doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, dual-diagnosis clinics, and even crazy stuff like IV-ketamine therapy to figure out "what is wrong with my brain". The Abbey Clinic gave me the answers; now they're providing my therapy. I have yet to find a comparable clinic in the Bay Area. For me, they were truly a lifesaver. Shout-out to Dr Korsmo, Dr Barrett, Jordann, and Andrew. 🙏Posted on Pete CurleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reports show tremendous improvements in simple attention, complex attention, executive functioning, cognitive flexibility and tremendous improvement in alpha and beta waves control after 6 months. We saw immediate improvement in communication after the first month. Later on, we saw improvement in attention and executive functioning. The team we are working with at Abbey clinic is professional, friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Andrew Moses who conducts the Bi-weekly sessions. He is very nice and friendly. We would also like to thank Rachel and Paula who meet with us to discuss and explain the reports, results and future plans.Posted on Sally El-OgeilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel that my experience with Abby has been excellent. The price is very very high and insurance usually does not cover it but it is definitely worth it if you have a lot of money to spare. I feel almost like a completely different person now, more focused, less anxious, and more relaxed.Posted on H STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to hear about Abbey Clinic from our neighbor. I had no idea how to find a therapist. Both my kids are pretty regular learners and didn't really need much support outside of school, but when my teenager's life went completely sideways junior year from a brain injury, the biggest help were the sessions with Rachael Little. The sessions taught him coping skills and methods to approach life. He is doing so well in college and still uses the things he learned with Rachael. Thank you!Posted on Greta Kim
