Angela Matthews, LLMSW-clinical

Helping individuals heal from their trauma, grief, and moral injury is my passion. I specialize in working with first responders, military (veterans & active), their spouses, and children (adolescent 10+). Trauma doesn't have to control you. Allow me to help share the load. Imagine the difference your life would be like if you didn't have to carry that heavy weight all over!

I have over 17 years of experience as a first responder, and have extensive training in crisis and work. I have been a crisis hostage negotiator for over 7 years, trained in both adult and youth CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) training, and am an ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Champion through the MI ACE Initiative. I hold a certification for combat veterans through MSU School of Social Work, which is also where I completed my Masters of Social Work (clinical). I have trained in several trauma informed modalities such as CBT and CPT however, the most recent is a form of neurolinguistic processing that does not require any conversation about your traumatic event(s) and works in as little as 2 hours!! Once we get through the initial process, we can work on reframing your current thoughts and beliefs to healing!
