Abigail Burton
Graduate Student Intern
You remember what life was like before. Before your body changed. Before things that used to be easy became difficult. Adjusting to a disability can mean grieving your independence, the life you pictured for yourself, or even the person you thought you were.
Abigail especially enjoys working with people navigating disability and changes in their abilities. She can help you make space for what you’ve lost without letting that loss define everything that comes next. A different life is still a life worth living.
Or maybe anxiety has taken up far too much space in your life. You’re tired of overthinking, feeling on edge, or worrying about when the next wave of panic might hit. You miss being able to just be in the moment, without your mind and body constantly sounding the alarm. Therapy can help things start to feel calmer, safer, and more manageable again.
You deserve a place where you can feel genuinely heard while you begin trusting yourself again and believing that something different is possible.

How I Work:
Hello! I am a first year graduate student pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adams State University. The therapeutic modalities that resonate with me the most, and are reflected in my work, are person-centered therapy and existential therapy. When I am not at work or studying, you can catch me spending time with my kids, doing something creative, or gaming. I love to crochet, and I play a variety of different games. In the warmer months, I like to go camping and explore Pueblo and Canon City. I am always looking to challenge myself to new experiences, whether in my hobbies or work!
I deeply believe in creating a warm and accepting environment for all people that I meet with. Treating everyone with unconditional positive regard and reflecting genuineness and empathetic understanding come first and foremost in my approach. Every person has strengths, and my goal is to assist clients in finding their inner resources to achieve their therapeutic goals.
