ABOUT US
Welcome To Abridged Psychology
Have you ever found yourself dreading an encounter, event, or conversation, only for the moment to arrive and you think, “Well, that wasn’t so bad after all”? Now, imagine if you had the tools to calm your anxiety before it even began. Imagine if your child had those same tools. Think of the time, energy, and peace of mind you could reclaim—time to focus on meaningful relationships, fulfilling projects, and achieving what truly matters to you and your family.
That’s exactly why we exist. At Abridged Psychology, we empower individuals and families with the confidence, tools, and strategies they need to face life’s challenges head-on and thrive.
Social Connection: The Power of Belonging
Many problems and issues seem to melt away when people feel connected. Whether it’s making a few good friends or finding your tribe, strong relationships are vital to mental and physical health. Social connection provides a buffer against stress and brings joy to everyday life. Having people to laugh with, navigate challenges with, and celebrate successes with isn’t just important—it’s essential.
That’s why we’re committed to helping people overcome social anxiety, build meaningful relationships, and create connections that enhance their lives. When you feel truly connected to others, life becomes more manageable and fulfilling.
Parents as Partners: Building Strong Foundations at Home
A child’s first tribe is their family, and at Abridged Psychology, we believe in the power of partnering with parents to create lasting change. We teach parents how to guide their children in applying the skills learned in therapy to their daily lives. By working together, families can foster an environment where everyone learns and grows.
One of the amazing benefits of this approach is that parents often find themselves using the same strategies to improve communication, manage emotions, and even teach other family members these valuable skills. The result? A more connected, resilient family unit equipped to handle challenges together.

Our Story
In 2013, Abridged Psychology made the move to Garden City, transforming from a solo practice into a thriving team of talented therapists. This milestone marked the beginning of a collaborative approach focused on reaching more people and teaching transformative skills to individuals and families across our community.
In 2020, we reached another turning point, transitioning from a part-time passion into a full-time mission. This shift allowed us to focus entirely on helping people cultivate confidence, regulate emotions, and build meaningful social connections. Today, our growing team remains dedicated to providing compassionate care and innovative strategies that empower our clients to lead fulfilling lives.
