Angela Geis, LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals suffering from various different traumatic experiences and substance abuse histories. My clients describe me as compassionate, intuitive, direct, and non-judgmental. I offer virtual sessions 11 AM - 7 PM EST Monday through Fridays. I also offer free 20 minute consultations.

Have you suffered from a narcissistic abusive relationship? Do you tend to be a caregiver at the expense of your own needs? Have you suffered religious abuse or grew up in what would be considered by most people to be a destructive cult? Perhaps you grew up feeling out of place, misunderstood, and could never fit in socially with peers or family?

Toxic relationships are not limited to romantic partners; they can be with our parents, siblings, friends, and even work relations. Traumatic experiences and toxic relationships leave a lasting, negative impact on one’s mental and emotional well-being, resulting in a life-long trauma wound. This can leave us in a state of perpetual anxiety, depression, isolation, confusion, codependency, and addiction.

In my therapy practice, I believe compassion and understanding are essential to facilitate the healing process and begin addressing inner wounds, dysfunctional behaviors, and codependency. I also believe in the importance of understanding and affirming neurodiversity and the role it plays in an individual’s story. I believe in self-empowerment and strength-based solutions.

I assist clients by providing them with guidance and feedback on how to navigate difficult relationships by setting and reinforcing healthy boundaries with others. Sessions focus on processing traumatic memories, understanding dysfunctional family dynamics and attachment styles, and learning to build a sense of empowerment, self-efficacy, and breaking patterns of codependency.

My therapeutic approach to begin the healing process includes a Person-Centered approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and inner-child work. Most importantly, when addressing trauma of any kind, I meet my clients where they are and what pace they are most comfortable with. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey!
