Angela F. Kelly, LMHC

I worked with Angela during a period of crisis in my life, and in the years following. She not only provided me with a safe environment to navigate essentially starting my adult life over from scratch, but provided valuable resources and evidence-based knowledge along the way. She is excellent at both giving and receiving feedback. When I felt that a particular approach was not helping me and asked for a change, we worked together to find a way that worked for me. I place a high premium on people who admit freely when there is something they don't know or can't do, and where their limitations lie, and her willingness to do just that allows me to trust her judgment and abilities all the more. I would still be an active client, if not for my insurance company and the unfortunate realities of healthcare as a business in this country, and will be again once a change in insurance is possible for me. I do not exaggerate when I say she saved my life and my sanity.

Just writing to say that I'm grateful to Angela for all the work she has helped guide me through over the last three years. While there is still plenty of work to be done, I've felt able to start building solid mental ground under my feet with her input. She embodies a relaxed and professional manner with sharp observational skill and an encouraging, non-directive approach. This gave me some means to open myself to further self examination and also to begin looking at how I could build my own wellness and self care routines, without feeling co-dependent on her leadership. If you are someone looking for a solid, friendly and empowering Therapist with subtle skill and a calm, encouraging spirit, I highly recommend giving her a call, to see if she has any openings, or might know someone who could help you as well, even if she is unable. Again, much thanks Angela.

I have been working with Angela for years. Not only does she provide wonderful therapeutic support and experience but she has also provided tremendous resources and referrals in the community for my ongoing health. She understands holistic wellness. I have referred multiple friends to her enthusiastically. Her help navigating the challenging insurance industry has been so valuable.

I've worked with Angela for over a year now, and I am so grateful for the guidance, support and continued help she has provided me. She has done such an amazing job of listening to me and truly hearing me, so we were able to form a very personal, trusting relationship. She has been incredibly flexible and understanding with schedule changes and adjustments and has worked very hard to help accommodate my schedule and anything that comes up. She is very responsive and makes herself available at all times, which I appreciate so much. If you are able to get in with her, I could not recommend it more. She is truly incredible.

I try not to write reviews that are negative but I feel future potential consumers/clients should be aware when making a selection as important has a therapist. Angela has worked with me a couple times and I feel there was a good connection but when an emergency came up that I had no control over Angela carried more about the money than the circumstance. Angela was helping me with some major life challenges and since our last meeting unbeknown to her I had to call 911 for my mom, she was admitted to the hospital and after a week and half she was being discharged but I had to find a nursing home for her to go to be rehabilitated. The hospital called the morning telling me that mom was being discharged and that she need to be moved to the rehab facility by noon for intake (no notice the day before). I also received an email that morning from Angela reminding me I had a therapy appt in 1 hour (which I completely forgot about). I immediately texted Angela about the circumstances and she expressed concern and understood why I needed to cancel. Later that afternoon I was emailed a confirmation charge for the cancelation. I quickly reached out to Angela to ask why I was charged seeing how this was out of my control. She expressed that I didn't give her the 48 notice and she couldn't fill the spot since I only gave her 1 hour notice. The money hurt since I have been in the hospital this whole time but her comment when I expressed what was going on was really opened my eyes to what she really cares about. This is what she wrote back... "I understand that for sure as we have talked it as well. Typically how all of this works is if I get a cancelation and can fill it from someone on the wait list I can bypass the cancelation fees. My challenge is that only had an hour to work with and was unable to fill the space. I operate the business side of my practice much like any other dr office, hence the cancel fee." If she truly cared about making sure her clients knew and was ready for the appt she would send that email out 48 hours before reminding them and then again an hour or 2 before. But she doesn't and not seeing past a true emergency that one is not in control makes me rethink who I am allowing to help me navigate my life with. I hope this help either way.
