Angela Smith, LCSW
About me
Welcome to the BetterHelp community! Congratulations on making the first big step towards investing in your mental health and wellbeing. I look forward to partnering with you in helping you achieve your therapeutic goals.
My name is Angela and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from New York University with a Masters in Social Work in 2015 and, since then, I have worked with children, teens, and adults on various issues related to trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, parent-child relationships, life transitions, step/blended families, and grief and loss. I draw from cognitive, strengths-based and trauma-focused approaches and am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for clients. I believe that you are the most important piece in the therapeutic relationship and I’m both excited and hopeful for what we can achieve on this journey together.
