Angelia Holland-Dunning

My communication style

I keep things warm, real, and easy to talk to. You will not hear a lot of clinical jargon from me. I speak plainly, ask honest questions, and make plenty of room for you to think out loud. I am a steady listener, and I will gently offer reflections or tools when they feel useful, always at a pace that works for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

For as long as I can remember, I have been the person others turn to when life feels heavy. That pull toward listening and helping eventually led me to social work and a career in therapy. What keeps me here is simple. I get to walk beside people during pivotal moments and watch them rediscover hope and possibility for themselves.

My goals for you

Together, we figure out where you want to be and what reaching it would look like in everyday life. I help you set goals that are specific and within reach, then we take them one step at a time. I will track progress with you, point out the gains you might miss, and shift course whenever something is not working.

Our first session

Our first meeting is relaxed and low-pressure. We will talk about what is bringing you to therapy, a bit of your background, and what you would like to be different. I will answer any questions you have, and we will start sketching out some goals together. By the end, you should have a feel for how we work and what the next steps look like.
