Therapist
Angel Conley, LPCA
Angel is a Mental Health Counselor and she will be accepting Telehealth and in person adults! Angel would like you to know, "Your authentic self is waiting for you! Challenging or traumatic life experiences often overshadow our authentic selves. We may feel stuck, lack motivation, or chronically procrastinate. Irrational and self defeating thoughts lead to fear, anxiety, depression, excessive worry, and may manifest in physical symptoms. When we live in this cycle too long it becomes our normal. We may recycle past trauma into present relationships. We find harmful ways to cope; such as people pleasing, codependency and addictive behaviors including, but not limited to substance abuse. It is possible to change. It is never too late to step onto the path you have envisioned. You can learn to control your thoughts. You can heal from past trauma. You can develop intrinsic motivation to take action and meet your goals. I offer an eclectic approach to therapy. I utilize various evidence based practices to best suit the needs of each individual. We all have the innate power to live the life we have imagined. Wherever you are on your journey I would be honored to guide and support you toward personal empowerment. You deserve to live your best and most authentic life. Honor yourself and contact me today!" Availability and Insurances/Rates: Angel accepts self-pay clients and Commercial Insurances.
