Angela Thompson

Hi, my name is Angela Thompson, and I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (IMH29819). I work primarily with women navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, body image concerns, eating disorders, and life transitions.

 

I earned my bachelor’s degree in education from the University of North Florida and spent more than 20 years as an elementary educator, supporting the academic, emotional, and personal growth of students and families. My passion for caring for the whole person ultimately led me to pursue counseling, and I received my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University.

 

My heart is to support women through difficult and changing seasons of life, including unresolved trauma, distressing memories, body dysmorphia and eating disorders, menopause, empty nesting, career changes, retirement, and caregiving for aging parents. I also have a special interest in supporting cancer patients and caregivers, bringing empathy and understanding shaped in part by my own experience as a cancer survivor.

 

My counseling approach is client-centered and collaborative, providing a safe and compassionate space where clients can feel heard, process difficult experiences, develop practical tools, and move toward healing. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
and use EMDR as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients address trauma, distressing memories, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be impacting their lives.

 

I also enjoy working with couples preparing for marriage and am trained in SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) premarital counseling, helping couples strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and build a healthy foundation for marriage.

 

My faith in Christ is the foundation of my life and practice. I counsel from a biblical worldview and am happy to incorporate Scripture, prayer, and faith into sessions when desired by the client.

 

Romans 15:13 reflects the heart behind my work: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

 

When hope feels difficult to see, you do not have to navigate the journey alone. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they process the past, develop tools for the present, and move forward with healing, purpose, and hope.
