Angie Moates, MA, LMHC

As a licensed counselor, I am honored to provide a service to people who have decided to make the courageous choice to look more closely at their lives in order to discover the conscious and unconscious factors influencing their decisions, including how they are coping with major life issues. Such life issues are common for us all and include personal challenges such as grief and loss, relationship issues, past trauma issues, symptoms of depression andor anxiety, and any major life change, positive or negative, which brings stress into our lives. The focus of my therapy work is to provide a safe and confidential environment for the client to process their issues with a skilled professional who is able to synthesize the information about their lives and provide expert feedback in a very personalized manner in order to help facilitate the most effective path to positive growth and change. It is important for the client to feel empowered and validated about their progress, as well as to expect the professional to provide honest feedback and necessary information and "tools" for coping with new and continued positive growth. The client should see a consistent benefit for the therapeutic relationship, until such time that change has been fully integrated and personal goals have been met.
