Hello, my name is Angela Reinhold, LCSW. I have spent nearly 10 years assessing individual and psychosocial needs of patients from youth to adults. The therapeutic approaches I lean towards consist of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, client-centered therapy, and supportive therapy.
My approach
I believe the most important element in the therapeutic process is developing a strong rapport. Receiving therapy puts a person in a very vulnerable state; establishing a strong rapport helps ease worries and fears so the patient can feel comfortable during this vulnerable process. The most common theoretical approaches I use when providing therapy are psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, client-centered, and supportive therapy.
My focus
I spent 7 years working with children, pre-teens, and teenagers, and the last 10 years working with adults. Conditions I feel most comfortable treating consist of clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-regulation (mood), sexuality, and substance use.
My communication style
When clients work with me I set the tone for them to feel heard, supported, and accepted for where they are in their therapeutic process.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always had a very nurturing demeanor with a strong desire to help others. It is this desire that attracted me to help people become the best selves they can be.
My goals for you
It's important for everyone to have both long and short-term goals. However, because these goals should be obtainable, I believe the client is the driving force in developing their goals.
My first session with you
During your first session with me, you should expect to go over what's driving your desire to receive therapy, what you're looking to achieve from therapy, and what you can expect from me as your therapist. I will begin an initial assessment of you while starting to build rapport.
