Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

Lowell is a historic Massachusetts mill city on the Merrimack River that played a central role in the American Industrial Revolution and has since become one of the most ethnically diverse mid-size cities in New England, home to the largest Cambodian-American community in the United States outside Long Beach, California, as well as significant Southeast Asian, Latino, and African immigrant populations. The mental health landscape is profoundly shaped by the refugee and survivor trauma of the Cambodian community, many of whom experienced the Khmer Rouge genocide and its aftermath, and by the mental health needs of a broader immigrant population navigating acculturation, language barriers, and the stresses of economic life in a post-industrial city. UMass Lowell has graduate programs in psychology and counseling, contributing to the local mental health workforce. Common therapy concerns include refugee and genocide-related trauma, acculturation stress, intergenerational family conflict, economic anxiety, and the mental health challenges of a remarkably diverse community still building culturally competent care infrastructure.
