Home/ Work for a Reproductive Psychotherapist

I met my friend Catie through the San Diego birth community. Back when I had my little ones and started my private practice focused on perinatal, or reproductive, mental health, Catie was one of San Diego’s most sought after birth photographers. In addition, she was influential in co-leading a local birth network and meet ups of birth professionals.

When Catie shared about her latest project, featuring women working from home, in black and white, with all the tools of their trade, I signed up. When I’m not in one tiny corner of my bedroom for my video sessions with clients from all over California, my private practice office comprises the corner of the playroom/ laundry station/ multi-purpose storage dump-all room.

#BlackMomsMatter – Last Chance for the Online Courses

In case you missed it…

Janisha Street and I recorded a video course for my online, on-demand school back in 2019. #BlackMomsMatter remains a relevant introduction into the disproportionate impact of perinatal mental illness in the Black and African-American community. More importantly, we cover practical ways to make things better.

Sadly, the door will close to new students 1/31/22

Unfortunately, I’ve made the decision to downgrade the hosting for my online school, and all of the published courses, including the cornerstone Prevent Postpartum Depression. This means:

  • I will not publish any new courses
  • No new students can join after 1/31/22
The good news:

My New Office (Same Building)

By |2019-11-18T14:30:28-08:00October 13th, 2018|Categories: Blog, Practice Updates|Tags: , , , , |0 Comments

Hi everyone! My San Diego psychotherapy practice has been busy through the summer and the start of the school year. I’ve moved to electronic charting, which means everything is paperless. Now, when new clients start, we don’t have to waste any trees, and they can easily complete questionnaires on a smart phone.

In addition, I’ve also expanded to a larger office. Fortunately, I’m in the same building on the corner of Gennesee and Balboa, same floor even, just around the corner.

Also, I have to love how the waiting room looks out over the ocean.

Abigail Burd, LCSW Now Accepts Cigna for Therapy

By |2019-11-18T14:30:34-08:00April 7th, 2017|Categories: Blog, Practice Updates|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |0 Comments

I am happy to announce that I am now an “in-network” psychotherapist for Cigna.

Cigna Therapist in San Diego

 

What does this mean for YOU?

If you have Cigna for behavioral health insurance, it means that I can now bill Cigna directly for therapy sessions and you only need to pay the copay at the time of service.

If you are a provider in San Diego, please keep me in mind for clients with Cigna needing help. My specialties include addiction, dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including depression and anxiety. Over the past 20 years I have helped people from all walks of life and enjoy helping college students, other “helping” or “healing” professionals, and new parents navigate transitions.

What is a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work? (Or why is a BCD a BFD?)

By |2019-11-18T14:30:35-08:00March 24th, 2017|Categories: Blog, Practice Updates, Supervision|Tags: |0 Comments

First, an announcement:

I am now a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work!

San Diego Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work, Abigail Burd

What is Board Certification in Clinical Social Work?

From the American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work:

“Board certification at a high level of practice is essential to every healthcare profession—uniquely, it establishes the standards by which competent practitioners may be identified… The Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (BCD) is the profession’s premier advanced-generalist practice certification, embodying the highest standards in the areas of clinical education, training, and experience.”

The “Gold Standard” (or why is a BCD a BFD?)

Ever since I had my first social work supervisor while working for UCSD, before I even […]
