Abbey Fowler

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Abbey is a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor. She recently graduated from Aquinas College with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has immediate openings! She received her undergraduate degree from Grand Valley State University in 2003 where she studied art, photography, and psychology. Abbey started under Grand Rapids Specialty Therapy as an Intern in 2024 and has now officially joined the GRST team. 

Abbey enters this new career mid-life, after an introspective moment of redefining her identity and life goals. She leaves behind a twenty-year career of building a small design and retail business and is excited to find new meaning in this career change by helping others define their own identities and work through distressing situations.

Abbey's focus is in relationships, LGBTQIA+, divorce, co-parenting, sexual health, attachment, life transitions, illness, and age-related distress. She is available to work with adults, older adults, diverse populations, and people together in relationships.

Abbey’s passion is to provide acceptance and advocacy to people in all types of relationship dynamics (specializing in CNM/Polyamory, dating in adulthood, communication breakdowns, and leaning into long-term love). Abbey’s therapeutic goal is to understand her client's unique issues and work with them toward understanding emotional reactions and finding new perspectives or narratives on the problem at hand — assisting clients in finding a path toward resilience and tools for the future.

Abbey’s core values in therapy focus on understanding attachment, finding meaning, narrating one's own story, fostering healthy interpersonal relationships, and encouraging clients to build empowerment and self-agency.
