Georgia Angelakos, LCPC

What happens when our well-intentioned - yet sometimes uncooperative - brain tries to protect us from experiencing harm? Yup, you got it! It's called Stress, also known as Anxiety, and at times it can be quite the nuisance. You are welcome to join me on a journey of knowledge and self-discovery to recognize and appreciate how our brain and bodies have helped us survive the personal challenges and struggles life presents. And then, let's help our brain recognize that, when we are actually safe, we can learn how to direct Anxiety to take a seat until it is next needed. Often times, Anxiety's friends, Depression and Trauma, love to join the party.. Together, we can learn to appreciate them as well, while sending them on their way. Along the way, let's tap into a bit of Grace and Self-Compassion. Let's also identify the multitude of strengths and resources in place, and use them to move from a Fear-Based response, to one of Courage, Curiosity, and Connection.

I am a strengths-based, neuroaffirming therapist who is committed to evidence-based practice. I have a Certification in Neuropsychotherapy (NPT-C) and am well-versed in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. This means that we may explore thoughts, emotions, sensations, behaviors, the cycle of anxiety, as well as mindfulness techniques, if - and only if - you are on board and comfortable! My style is casual, authentic, and relational, and I value feedback and collaboration, every step of the way.

Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, or simply seeking connection to self and others, I provide a supportive and empowering space to explore your strengths, cultivate self-awareness, and embark on a journey of personal growth.
