Abigail Barnett

Abby is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate in the State of Texas. She received her Master's Degree in Counseling from Amberton University and holds her undergraduate degree from East Texas Baptist University in Childhood Education. Abby offers individual counseling for both adolescents and adults of all ages. Prior to working at New Heights Counseling, Abby began her counseling career by working at Dallas LIfe Foundation - a homeless shelter and relief organization in downtown Dallas. This first experience gave Abby a well-rounded view of the human experience and struggle. It also instilled in her a passion to provide mental health care to anyone in need, particularly the marginalized and underprivileged. Before Dallas Life, immediately after departing her undergraduate studies, Abby adventured on a eleven-month mission trip to eleven countries and continued that journey as a overseas missionary for the next eight years. This experience stirred a desire in her to eventually counsel people of all ethnicities as they navigate the many challenges in this work. Abby believes that counseling should be a collaborative space where clients feel heard as well as guided.
