I've been meeting with Angie for 6 months now and have nothing bad to say. Everyone has different needs and wants when it comes to their mental health journey and Angie knows that. The first thing she wanted to know was what was and wasn't helpful in the past and we started with what did help. Angie goes above and beyond to customize how we help me heal and make progress. She is open, honest, upfront, knowledgable, professional, friendly, and respectable. I'm genuinely and truly grateful for all she has done for me and am relieved to have her as a therapist to support me and help me achieve my personal goals in the future.

I can't recommend Angie enough. She listens with an extremely open mind and without judgment. She asks very thought provoking questions that lead to more discovery of otter topics of interest.

I love Angie! She never invalidates your issues and gives constructive resources and feedback. I have had issues with feeling comfortable with previous counselors, but she had really, really helped me be more open and honest. I couldn’t recommend her more!

If you guys didn't know, Angie is awesome. I am always nervous about being judged. I felt none of that, and nothing but solutions. You'd better give her a raise. I considered Talkspace. This is muuuch better.

This is my first therapy encounter ever and Ms. Angie has made me feel so comfortable and listens to me. I've only had 2 visits and she is already helping me so much. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.

Angie is absolutely awesome. We’ve had two meetings thus far, and I already feel like I can trust her. It usually takes me a while to feel comfortable enough with someone to the point where I feel comfortable and confident with talking about myself and all of the icky internal stuff. The way Angie listens intuitively, combined with her anecdotes that show you she “gets it” and her patience, kindness, and great attitude makes it incredibly easy to feel comfortable with open and honest dialogue. She brings the experience of a seasoned therapist with the comfort of an old friend. I would highly recommend Angie to anyone! Thanks Angie!
