The Basics
Based in Boulder, Colorado, Jennifer Abbott is an interventionist and the founder of Abbott Therapeutic Solutions, which provides individual and group therapy on an outpatient basis. While her focus relies primarily on drug and alcohol addictions, she is also trained to address personality disorders, eating disorders, grief and to provide trauma-informed care. Abbott prides herself on having had specific success with those who have previously been unsuccessful with treatment or therapy and also tailors her work to address adolescents as well as adults.
The Background
Abbott earned her Master’s degree in trans-personal counseling psychology and is a LPC as well as a Level III Certified Addictions Counselor. She is also a member of both the American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Counseling Association (ACA). Abbott is trained in EMDR and DBT methods which both greatly inform her work. Before starting her own practice in 2009, she was the clinical and program director for the Boulder-based AIM House, an adolescent-focused recovery services facility.
The Approach
While Abbott does not follow one particular method when it comes to interventions, her work is informed by a holistic approach to recovery. In addition to EMDR and DBT-informed care, she is a proponent of wilderness therapy, believing that incorporating natural settings into treatment is an important key to recovery.
When it comes to the actual intervention process, Abbott meets with the family and support team ahead of time, usually for one or two days before the intervention. As mentioned, Abbott tends to focus on both adolescents and those who have had an unsuccessful experience with recovery. Abbott works to facilitate the shared goals of the family, and clients typically enter an inpatient treatment facility, though she maintains an open approach to whatever process will facilitate a lasting recovery.
Given that Abbott’s primary practice is as a counselor, clients can expect a long-term recovery option with her. Following an initial stay in a rehab facility, should they decide that Abbott Therapeutic Solutions is the right fit for them. The facility also offers a wide array of long-term therapy services for the entire family unit, so loved ones desiring their own recovery plan can create one according to their needs.
Post-Intervention and Summary
In an ever-expanding interventionist field, Abbott stands out with a solid resume of practice in the field of addiction. Clients working with Abbott can be sure of dealing with a professional with credentials, education and experience to offer a range of therapeutic methods with particular focus on treating clients who have struggled with relapse. While some may prefer working with an interventionist who is not affiliated with a counseling facility, those seeking a holistic approach to wellness are armed with a long term plan for recovery.
