Find a Therapist in West Chester, OH

I earned a master's degree in clinical counseling from Northwestern University, and I pursued counseling because my life experience put me in a unique position to help people overcome difficult circumstances in their lives. Since childhood, I've endured ceaseless adversity that's made it essential to have a safe place to explore my past, present, and future. The gift of counseling was the beginning of my healing journey and the first time, in a long time, I'd felt hopeful. After over a decade in corporate America, it became clear that my passion is to provide those who are struggling access to the same opportunity for personal growth. I don't believe in a client and counselor hierarchy. I prefer to think of us as fellow travelers on separate, yet similar, journeys to attain a balance of purpose, pleasure, mastery, and autonomy. My specialty is unique lived experience combined with robust education and a distinctive ability to relate to the struggle. Stepping outside one's comfort zone is an important and universal factor in personal growth, but it's intimidating. Seeking counsel from an unbiased clinician, who is removed from the chaos, often helps to foster the self-awareness necessary to create healthy, sustainable change. I look forward to working with you.

Clients whom I serve may be people I see every day on the street or in the store. They may have lost their way or their identity—they may feel broken and discouraged, hopeless or lonely, anxious, or depressed. All they want is to feel a sense of belonging, find their true purpose, or just feel encouraged. My name is Angela, and I would love to take this journey with you. I have been a nurse for 15 years and have worked in inpatient behavioral health. I believe that mental health affects all aspects of our lives, including our physical, social, and spiritual processes, and we can work together to develop a therapeutic plan for balance going forward. Sometimes even how or when we eat can affect the neurotransmitters that cause anxiety and depression. I will reach out to you before our first visit to find out how I can help you and to make sure you feel safe where you are mentally. Our first visit will be to get to know each other, and we will dig into your history to make a path forward for the future. Together, we can focus on anxiety, depression, past trauma, phobias, and substance use, including nicotine addiction, using cognitive behavioral therapy or compassion-focused therapy for those who need help with self-blame or guilt.

When indicated, I use therapeutic hypnosis for a range of issues such as improving self esteem, breaking habits, pain reduction, and smoking cessation. I use EMDR for phobias and traumas. Changing Weighs is a program offered that provides clinical hypnosis, support, and lifestyle changes for weight management.

Psychotherapy is not only about relieving mental distress. It is also about increasing resilience, wholeness, wellness, and improving relationships. I believe the therapist's job is to offer a safe place for healing - a place where an individual, couple or family can be listened to with skill and respect. In the process of establishing a safe relationship and setting realistic goals, people grow and change according to their abilities and needs. People are the "experts" of their own lives. I believe in the interdependence of the generations in families and in the human community. I specialize in working with those who wish to improve relationships with themselves and others, who are recovering from loss, who are in psychological pain, who may be caring for a family member, or who are trying to cope with change and transition in their life cycle. I have worked with many therapists and caregivers seeking treatment. I am available for free, brief phone consultation to evaluate if I am appropriate for your needs andor to refer you to other resources.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio. I received my Master’s of Science in Mental Health Clinical Counseling from Northern Kentucky University (2020) and Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Cincinnati Christian University (2018). I believe in utilizing therapy as an opportunity to assist individuals, couples, and families in acknowledging and overcoming barriers to healing and change. I create an authentic, collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic space where clients are able to address areas in life that aren't working (anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, painful experiences); to explore and resolve the internal and relational barriers that limits healing and personal growth; and to create an action plan that empowers clients to live out their full potential. I work with all ages and stages of life and operate from a person-centered, strength-based, trauma informed, systemic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspective. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. EMDR Therapy is designed to relieve the pain of past hurts and trauma; increase one’s ability to better handle current situations; and reduce stress related to future expectations. I have received training in Biblical counseling and am able to incorporate faith into counseling for clients that desire to do so, and is, of course, not required for those who do not desire to do so. I tailor my treatment approach with client’s based on their needs and desires. I enjoy assisting individuals in their search for identity and purpose; helping individuals, couples and families improve their communication, intimacy, and relationships; and supporting clients in pursuing their goals. I counsel a wide variety of treatment issues including anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment disorders, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, spiritual concerns, self esteem issues, grief, personality disorders, sexual concerns or abuse, OCD, and mood disorders. My intention is to inspire hope and growth, develop wholeness, and empower others to live an abundant and authentic life. I use my gifts of compassion, insight, discernment, and engagement to bring about healing and restoration to the broken hearted and encourage a process of positive change in the lives of individuals, couples, and families. I deeply value creating a safe environment and aim to build a relationship of trust while assisting clients in reaching personal insight. My ultimate goal is to assist clients through healing and growth. I am prepared to accept anyone who walks into my office!
