As an advocate for patients and mentor to the professional care giver, she will help you and your patients make the most workable and nuanced decisions at the pivotal moments of care....which inevitably occur throughout the treatment process, from diagnosis to recovery.

As a referral source for patients, Abigail provides intensive treatment services to out-of-town patients and their families who choose to travel to Illinois for daily or as-needed ‘marathon’ week- end, or extended consultation/therapy stays.
