Hello! I’m Abby Boxman LCSW. In 2011, I experienced amajor life quake in losing my son Justin. This altered the trajectory of mylife. Determined to make positive impact on others, I decided to return tocollege in 2013 at the age of 48. I completed my Master of Social Work,MSW, in 2017 which further led me to become a Licensed Clinical socialWorker, LCSW, in the state of New Jersey.Experiencing my own personal trauma and grief, had been the catalyst inpursuing my passion of providing professional support and healing to myclients. I have observed that all types of grief and losses and untreatedtrauma can manifest into chronic mental health conditions lasting alifetime.• As my new journey began, I had been an active advocate initiatingawareness, prevention and psycho-education on the opiate epidemic.Supporting and lobbying for legislative change, locally and nationally,offered me the opportunity to speak at venues addressing children,adults and professionals throughout the state of New Jersey.• My profession began working with individuals, children, families andgroups who were victims~survivors of domestic violence and sexualassault.• Founded and facilitated grief groups so the bereaved had a safe place toshare their story and their pain. Disenfranchised and complicated griefexperienced from substance use disorder SUD, is one of my specialties.• As we all experienced Covid19, I worked diligently in a behavioral healthprogram. I provided tools and services to help reduce anxiety,depression, isolation and hope in a world filled with fear, panic anduncertainty.My clinical approach and modalities I provide are determined by myclients. Sandplay therapy and EMDR are most used, along with talktherapy, mindfulness and CBT. https://abbyboxmanlcsw.com/
