Hello, my name is Angela Reinhold, LCSW. I graduated with my Master from California State Long Beach (CSULB) and have spent over 10 years assessing and treating individual and psychosocial needs of patients from youth to adults. My goal is to empower each client with the tools needed for a successful and healthy life. In doing so, I start with the fundamentals of rapport building. When clients work with me I set the tone for them to feel heard, supported, and accepted for where they are in their therapeutic process.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During your first session with me, you should expect to go over what's driving your desire to receive therapy, what you're looking to achieve from therapy, and what you can expect from me as your therapist. I will begin an initial assessment of you while starting to build rapport. I believe that because this will be your therapy session, you should be the driving force for your sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Receiving therapy puts a person in a very vulnerable state; establishing a strong rapport helps ease worries and fears so the patient can feel comfortable during this vulnerable process. I believe my greatest strength is the nurturing way in which I give others the ability to feel comfortable, supported and heard.
