Abel Rangel

THERAPIST | MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR | CHELSEA + VIRTUAL

Abel employs a person-centered, culturally responsive, and strengths-based approach to psychotherapy. Deeply influenced by the work of Carl Rogers, prioritizing empathy and understanding above all else—giving voice to the unheard, authenticity—aligning your identity and choices with your deep personal inner compass, and unconditional positive—always ensuring the client always feel safe, never rejected and part of a therapeutic alliance where the client’s space is there’s and there’s alone.

Abel offers individual, couples, and family therapy. His work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness training, and solution-focused strategies. Abel is especially attuned to the unique experiences of clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and is committed to tailoring care to meet each person’s individual needs and goals.
