Support in feeling more grounded, connected and understood

Hi, I'm Abbey Oot

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW (she, her)

I’m a NYC-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I work with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the unique emotional challenges that come with adolescence and emerging adulthood. Whether you’re struggling with boundary setting, navigating complicated family dynamics, or feeling overwhelmed by life in a fast-paced city, I’m here to help you feel more grounded, connected, and understood.

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I know how messy and uncertain life can feel in your teens and twenties - especially when you’re trying to figure out who you are, what you want, and how to cope with stress, relationships, and the pressure to have it all “figured out.”

In our work together, we’ll slow things down to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. I draw from psychodynamic and relational approaches to help you connect the dots between past experiences and present struggles—because healing often starts with insight and self-compassion. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University, practicing since 2019. My post-graduate training includes the completion of a three-year certificate program in child and adolescent psychotherapy at the William Alanson White Institute.
