About Me
I am a Professional Counselor, licensed in Wisconsin. I have been a licensed therapist for about 2 years, but have over 18 years of experience working in the mental health field in a number of capacities. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting problems to name a few. For the past four years I have been working with children ages 12-18 in a day treatment setting. In this position I worked with children and their families to help them manage things like ADHD, trauma and other behavioral issues.
My style as a therapist is warm, genuine, honest, casual and interactive. I believe in meeting clients where they are at, and treating them with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe that as the client, you are the expert on your own life with your own unique strengths to overcome life's challenges. Because of that my approach varies depending on the needs of the client. I have experience using the client centered approach, have been trained in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I also have had training in DBT and like to use those skills as needed. I enjoy talking with clients to determine what type of approach they feel will be most helpful and meaningful to them.
I know that for many of you it has taken immense courage to seek out counseling and to take the first steps towards making a change in your life. I look forward to meeting you, talking with you and helping you through making these changes and reaching your goals however I can.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Angela Heredia. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Easy to trust
Angela is wonderful to work with. She is an excellent listener and has a lot of very useful advice. I have definitely benefited from talking to her.
She was great she listened and showed compassion and care and made me feel better.
I think the world of Angela. She is an incredible listener who picks up on things that I might be missing. She's empathetic, knowledgeable, caring, and is genuinely tuned in. She has offered practical advice and she challenges me on my assumptions. This is a rough time for me, and she's been a steady and positive influence. Can't say enough positive things about her.
Angie is a fantastic counselor! She is punctual, kind, practical, a great listener, and works with my crazy schedule to secure my weekly slot. She offers useful strategies for de-stressing my work-life balance & it’s been wonderful for my mental health to share my work stress with someone trained and not my family. Everyone needs “an Angie!!”
She is great and very supportive. Seems to appreciate my way of learning and gives me lots of resources to reference. It’s only been a couple weeks but I am starting to notice progress already.
She is attentive and responsive
Angela listens to my story, feelings, concerns and offers feedback with material to back it up- which is very helpful. I look forward to diving deeper with her.
Angela is incredibly genuine, attentive, and listens to my concerns. She has created a space for me free of judgement where I feel supported and like I can navigate and work through anything. She challenges me in the best ways and is incredibly kind! I'm so happy to be working with her.
Angela is very professional, and just the right degree of personable. She is very thorough, making sure to touch on all listed areas of concern. Angie will guide you to find your own best answers and nudge you toward the actions that will improve your life.
Angela has been so wonderful to work with, she has a gentle approach, really listens and has a great sense of humor. She has helped me keep things in perspective and challenge my negative thinking.
