What to Expect

I work with in-person clients in Scottsdale, Arizona. While every client is different, we generally follow a similar format to get you from where you are, to where you want to be.

I offer a Superbill at the end of each month that can be submitted to insurance.

  • Our 15-minute consult call will help us determine whether we’re the right fit for one another or not.

  • Our first 50-minute in-person therapy appointment is an intake session to determine the level of support you need and identify what assessments will be helpful for your treatment.

  • Together we create a treatment plan with your goals in mind and discuss actionable ways for us to approach healing.

  • In between our on-going therapy sessions, you’ll have homework to further your psychoeducation and healing work.

Can OCD Treatment Help You?

I see clients for many reasons. If you’re struggling with OCD or Anxiety you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the common challenges my clients work through in Therapy using Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) :

Attaching meaning to thoughts, feelings, and sensations 

Avoidance in thoughts, feelings, situations, people

Looking to others for constant reassurance 

Unable to be in the present moment

Lack of confidence or low distress tolerance 

Struggling to make decisions or
identify your own needs 

Feeling a lack of connection
and/or isolated

Lack of trust in self; feelings of hopelessness

Stuck in repetitive loops or compulsions

Meet Abby

My name is Abby Hauer. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). While working in a group private practice, I began to notice how many of my clients with anxiety were previously misdiagnosed. Even worse, they had been receiving the wrong treatment most of their life. I was quickly motivated to learn more—and to understand WHY this was happening. 

Not only was I compelled by my clients’ experiences, but I too was misdiagnosed for decades. I received ineffective treatment and never felt truly understood by any practitioner I worked with. 

My mission now is to use various modalities and psychoeducation to help people who are feeling the same way I did get the right diagnosis so they can find peace, happiness, and connection in a life that once felt difficult to live. 

Modalites: ACT, ERP, CBT, DBT, Polyvagal, IFS, DBT-PE, EMDR trained
