Gina Abbeduto has been in the helping professions for the last 20 years, working as a psychotherapist and teaching psychology. Her work as a therapist revolves around the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives.
After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Law & Society from Purdue University in 1995, she completed my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Benedictine University in 1998. Since that time, she has practiced in various settings, including a psychiatric hospital, community mental health center, partial hospitalization programs, and private practice. She also taught undergraduate psychology at Benedictine University and graduate psychology at Lewis University and facilitated training programs for Job Corps in Joliet, Illinois.
With her move from Chicago at the end of 2011, she brought fourteen years of expertise with effective, non-pathologizing models such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, mindfulness-infused models which offer clients the gift of embracing the power to change and create new meaning in their lives.
