Rae Therapy Group

Hi, I’m Abbie Kwok

I am a psychodynamic therapist who draws from relational, intersubjective, and attachment-based orientations. Centering social justice in both my life and clinical work, I offer trauma-informed care that is attentive to identity, power, and oppression, and informed by intersectional queer liberation, anti-racism, and sex positivity.

I believe that being witnessed, feeling seen, and emotionally attuned to within a consistent therapeutic relationship can be deeply healing. My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and direct; I aim to create a safe space free of judgment where all parts of you can feel held as we cultivate curiosity about your inner world. I find that meaningful change occurs through both insight and lived emotional experience. In our work together, we may bring awareness to past experiences and unconscious patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others, including what emerges between us.

So often, our vision narrows, and we lose sight of the expansiveness of our true selves. I view mental health as a lifelong process of increasing our capacity to hold tensions and contradictions, and to navigate uncertainty, liminality, and complexity so we can experience our lives more fully. Together, we can honor the ways your patterns have served you while creating new ways of being, relating, and moving through the world.

I have deep respect for the courage it takes to trust another. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
