Abigail (Abbey) Riddick (she/her)
Clinical Intern, UNC Chapel Hill
Hi there, my name is Abbey and I’m an Intern here at Three Oaks Behavioral Health. I’m so glad you’re seeking therapy with us and would love to connect.
I’m here to meet you where you are and support you moving forward, as you are ready. I’m passionate about holding space for people who want to find ways to live fully by their own values, who may be grieving the loss of a loved one, processing how past experiences have shaped their present lives, or going through big changes and life transitions. In therapy, I like to explore with clients how human emotions, thoughts, behaviors and physical selves are interrelated.
In my therapy approach, I am learning how to apply mindfulness, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems and somatic experiencing methods. I bring knowledge and skills from my coursework at UNC Chapel Hill School of Social Work, where I focused on problematic substance use and addictions. I also bring mindfulness and meditation skills from a 200 hour level yoga teacher training that I completed last year. Overall, my practice is LGBTQIA affirming, committed to anti-racist and anti-ableist values, and grounded in an understanding that our experiences are shaped by relationships, environments and broader systems.
When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll likely find me cooking, hiking, catching up on a good book, or practicing French.
If you think we could be a good fit, please reach out to me at abigail@threeoaksbehavioralhealth.com. I look forward to connecting with you!
