Hello!

My name is Abby Brenner. I am a Licensed Social Worker passionate about counseling kids and helping their families. I understand that life can feel overwhelming, which can lead to kids displaying tough behaviors, and parents feeling stuck in a frustrating cycle of anxiety and hopelessness. I appreciate the courage it takes to seek out counseling as a part of the journey to wellness. I love when I have the opportunity to include Christian faith and biblical frameworks into counseling sessions. My goal is always to provide a safe, empathetic, and respectful environment to help empower my clients to reach their fullest potential.

Some fun bits about me:

-My favorite thing is being married to my husband and being a mom.

-My husband and I first became parents through the foster care system

-I love to travel! I am always looking up new places to explore.

-Golden retrievers are my favorite animal. We have two at home, Maisy and Marvin.

-I am originally from Ohio and love all Ohio sports. Go Buckeyes!

My work and education background are diverse. I got my undergraduate degree from Bethel University. Then while in school to receive my master’s degree I worked as a child forensic interviewer at a local Child Advocacy Center. In 2018 I received my Master’s of Social Work degree with concentrations in Mental Health and Addictions, from Indiana University. This allowed me opportunities to work in the health care setting, with an addictions population, in local community mental health, and most recently with a diverse caseload of both adults and children in private practice.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I can’t wait to meet and learn more about you!
