S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
I am a family therapist. I work closely with families, especially parents, to create calm and peace in the family. Parents who seek my help are often at their wits end and do not know what else to do to help their children. Kiddos in my client families are often gifted or twice exceptional, with frequent complex and challenging episodes that baffle and bewilder their parents. I also work with families who are in the post-adoptive stage of their family's development. I work intensely with parents to understand the brain science at work in all family members, helping parents to become the healers in the family.
As a family therapist, I work from a systems perspective. This means that change in one person impacts everyone else in the family. Since parents are the head of the household and are the leaders in the family, I focus on giving parents the understanding and tools to help their children so that everyone in the family can thrive. This involves helping parents make a lens shift, letting go of outdated parenting strategies for more science-based tools to help all family members. When parents change the way they look at and understand their children, children will change.

As a bi-racial Black and Vietnamese male who struggled to fit in, I know what its like to overcompensate in other areas of my life just to gain acceptance. My goal as a therapist is to help you stop people-pleasing, set boundaries, and create a healthy sense of self-worth.

Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
Campbell Teen Family Therapy (CTFT) is built on the values of helping teens and families and giving back to the community. Having a team versus being a solo practitioner is important. One of the biggest contributing factors to the success of therapy is goodness of fit. In order for therapy to work the client needs to have the right person. Having a diverse staff means that patients have a choice about who they see and we do our best to match a client with the therapist who is just right for them!
At CTFT, our staff members are like minded and believe that supporting a teen sometimes takes a village. Having a team means that parents can have their needs met too, whether it is through parent coaching, individual therapy, couples therapy or family therapy, we can provide all of the support a parent might need when raising a family.
Often parents are heard saying “they wish there was a handbook for how to raise their kids.” We offer parent coaching using techniques from Love and Logic and Positive Discipline. We believe that parenting approaches are not a one size fits all and work with parents to find the approach that best meets their needs.
In family therapy, we go outside of the box in our treatment. We are wiling to work with any members of the family who are willing and able to come. We offer sessions with any combination of family members we believe should be there; parent and child, just parents, siblings only or all members present at once. We believe that any change made in any one member of the family will affect change in the entire system. .
We believe that therapy should be accessible to all. At CTFT we give back, by volunteering to provide pro bono therapy to foster kids through a program called “A Home Within.” So when you come to our practice, you are not just helping your family, but those families who can’t otherwise have access to mental health treatment.
CTFT was founded in 2011 and is owned by Ingrid Higgins, MFT
