Angie M. Eells, LCSW
Owner and Clinical Director

I practice humanistic therapy in which a respectful relationship is most important. A safe environment is essential to exploring issues that can be difficult to address, and I dedicate myself to empathic and accurate listening in our collaborative work. I have a strong belief in the value of each individual and I practice from the conviction that each person inherently has the resources and desire to live a healthy and fulfilling life. I am committed to helping my clients achieve positive growth in line with the goals that they have for therapy.

Painful emotional experiences can create distorted and damaging self-perceptions. I see therapy as an opportunity to modify these messages and establish healthier life patterns. Current distress offers the chance to develop healthier coping skills and a more accurate self-understanding that enhance future experiences and relationships.

I believe that we are responsible for our lives, which can be both empowering and frightening. Life is complex and unpredictable, constantly offering chances to grow and to learn. We always have choices in life, and therapy is an opportunity to become more intentional and thoughtful in the choices that we make.

My approach is integrative, which means I bring knowledge from various modalities in which I’ve been trained such as family systems, existential, experiential, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral; but most of all, I am humanistic and relationship-oriented. I think that the counseling relationship is most important in which one person is connecting to another. It’s important to establish a genuine relationship, and you should feel supported and understood, as well as challenged in a safe environment.
