Meet Abigail Blasingame, LPC, Adolescent Therapist.

Abigail specializes in working with adolescents and brings experience in trauma-informed care within residential treatment settings, crisis response and child protective services. This background allows her to support high-risk teens with a calm, structured and safety-focused approach.

In group therapy, Abigail utilizes evidence-based, skills-based interventions to help adolescents strengthen emotional regulation, develop healthy coping strategies and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills and psychoeducation to address trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm and behavioral challenges.

Abigail is intentional about creating structured, developmentally appropriate group environments where teens feel emotionally safe, supported and encouraged to participate. Her experience in crisis intervention allows her to remain steady during high-intensity moments while helping adolescents build resilience, insight and confidence in their ability to manage stress and emotions.

We’re grateful to have Abigail supporting adolescents at Oceans Lubbock. 💙

Meet Macy Bergquist, LPC Associate, Adolescent Outpatient Therapist.

Macy holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech University and practices under the supervision of Marie Luna, M.Ed., LPC-S.

She understands that beginning therapy or starting with a new clinician can feel vulnerable. Macy is intentional about creating a space where adolescents feel safe, welcomed and valued. Her approach centers on listening, encouragement and helping young people navigate life’s challenges with confidence and support.

Macy has experience working in an outpatient adult substance use center as well as providing individual therapy in private practice. She celebrates each individual’s uniqueness and believes that differences are what bring strength and beauty to the world.

She often compares therapy to art; it may begin feeling messy or unclear, but over time, perspective shifts and clarity begins to form. Macy is committed to walking alongside adolescents through those uncertain moments to help them build resilience, self-understanding and healing.

As Elton John beautifully reminds us, “How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.” Macy carries that reminder into her work each day, encouraging young people to recognize their worth, ask for support and move forward with hope.

We’re grateful to have Macy serving adolescents and families at Oceans Lubbock. 💙

Meet Brandi I., LPC, Intensive Outpatient Program Therapist.

Brandi Ivey is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Intensive Outpatient Program, where she facilitates group therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. She is known for creating structured, supportive, and engaging group environments that encourage participation, insight, and practical skill development.

Brandi’s work is informed by both professional training and lived experience with mental health challenges, allowing her to approach therapy with deep empathy, authenticity, and respect for each client’s unique journey. As Mel Robbins says, “You are always one decision away from a completely different life.” This perspective shapes Brandi’s collaborative, strengths-based approach, helping clients move from insight into meaningful action.

She integrates evidence-informed modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, trauma-informed care, and psychoeducation. Brandi places strong emphasis on helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and brain processes while building realistic coping strategies that can be applied outside of group.

Her areas of focus include anxiety management, emotional regulation, boundaries, shame and self-criticism, values-based living, and developing self-trust. Brandi frequently incorporates experiential and creative interventions to make therapy approachable, engaging, and effective.

In her role, Brandi facilitates multiple therapy groups, develops skills-based curriculum, collaborates with the multidisciplinary treatment team, and supports patients in identifying goals that promote stability, confidence, and long-term recovery.

We’re grateful to have Brandi supporting adults in building confidence, stability and long-term recovery at Oceans Lubbock. 💙
