What should a new client know about working with you?
Daily we can recreate ourselves and not hold ourselves hostage to what happened yesterday. I don’t have to allow my past to dictate my present. I’m shedding my old skin, transforming, breaking-free, and recreating a new me.-Dr. Angela Smalls
With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I am a dedicated therapist committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward meaningful healing and growth. I utilize an integrative, client-centered approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities to meet each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
I believe change is possible every day. You are not defined by yesterday, and your past does not have to dictate your present. My therapeutic approach focuses on transformation, resilience, and hope. I help individuals navigate difficult seasons, recognize growth along the way, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. Together, we work toward healing that feels authentic and empowering—so you can live the life you choose.
My work is grounded in collaboration, compassion, and respect, creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all, and I tailor treatment to support emotional resilience, self-awareness, and lasting positive change.
Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted wife and mother, as well as a proud dog mom. I am also an herbalist and gardener, practices that reflect my belief in holistic wellness and the connection between mind, body, and nature. In my free time, I enjoy traveling as a way to continue learning, expanding perspective, and nurturing personal growth—values I bring into my therapeutic work.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
