Aspenglow Counseling

Are you or one of your children feeling depressed or anxious? Is your family having difficulty communicating? I work with adolescents, adults and families around issues such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, and trauma. I will help you develop strong self-esteem, coping skills, and success in social, school, and family life. I strongly believe that we do not have to be held back by our pasts or struggles, but can grow and learn from them. I am here to work alongside you and your family to find ways to heal and thrive. Angelica practices psychotherapy from a wholistic approach to wellness, believing that all parts of a person (mind, body, spirit) must be in balance and cared for to reach overall health and happiness. ________________________________________________ Angelica comes from the coast of Massachusetts and now lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

The therapy room is a place for children to get help through their pre-teen and teenage years as they navigate the rocky road of adolescence. Identities are being created, beliefs are forming, and what better place to find guidance than with a mental health professional who gets it? Aspenglow works to help teens develop their self-esteem, decrease self-consciousness, and develop strong problem-solving skills. Aspenglow specializes in trauma therapy to help those who have experienced horrific events that keep them feeling stuck and helpless. Aspenglow helps teens rewrite their life narratives to become positive and self-affirming. ________________________________________________ Teen Process Group for Depression and Emotional Connection This in-person group is designed for teens ages 15–17 who are feeling withdrawn, lonely, or disconnected and want a safe, supportive space to share and relate with others who understand.
