what other nurse psycho therapists are saying about

Handwritten text that says 'working with me'

"I used Abigail as a nurse psychotherapy consultant for the development phase of my own practice. I actually met with 5 nurse psychotherapists, but Abigail was the only one who provided me with genuine insight into how to go about starting a practice.

I reached out on a whim asking her to meet when I saw she was offering consulting, and she was kind enough to see me within 3 days. She walked me through everything from navigating the CNO, insurance, branding, and marketing. Truly I benefited more from our session together than I did with any other consultant.

She is beyond easy to talk to, she's super funny, and she's able to offer insight through the lens of an emerg nurse who has actual expertise in dealing with operating a nurse psychotherapy practice.

Cannot recommend her enough, and I'm eternally grateful to her. My only regret is not reaching out sooner!"

a Note from abigail swann

I'm deeply passionate about mental health and the vital role nurse psychotherapists play in the healing journey. With firsthand experience navigating the challenges and rewards of private practice, I'm committed to helping others do the same.

My mission is to see more nurse psychotherapists step into their full potential, build practices that reflect their values, and thrive both professionally and personally. When one of us succeeds, the whole profession grows stronger.
