Angela Serritella
Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and managing traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I also support a small hospice team in my area so am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations. I believe in strengths-based recovery that looks at all the systems that can impact us. Bits and pieces of different models incorporated together tend to have the most benefit, based on the person's needs. I have seen so many great successes! I enjoy supporting the people I work with and going through their journey with them. I am currently licensed in IL, MI and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, traveling with my social groups,, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids.
I look forward to connecting with you :) "After years in social services, I’ve found my true calling in the intersection of trauma, substance use, and integrated health.
I look forward to connecting with you :)
First session
In our first meeting, we'll focus on building rapport and getting to know each other to ensure we are a good fit for future therapy sessions. I am a firm believer that developing this relationship is essential for success in therapy. We'll start to focus on reasons for seeking therapy, and come up with a game plan for additional support. I see planning as a guideline for therapy, while being aware that therapy leads us to many types of conversations. Humor also helps!
Strengths
"After years in social services, I’ve found my true calling in the intersection of trauma, substance use, and integrated health. I’m a firm believer that 'mind-body health' is the key to lasting change. I love helping clients explore how these areas of their lives are connected and working together to build a path toward holistic recovery.
Ideal clients
"I support individuals across the lifespan, from young adults navigating the complexities of independence to mature adults reflecting on a lifetime of experiences. My ideal clients are often those standing at a crossroads—whether you are grappling with the anxieties of early adulthood, the pressures of mid-life, or the unique transitions of your later years. I am best positioned to serve those who are ready to explore their inner world with curiosity and who seek a safe, compassionate space to heal, grow, and redefine their sense of purpose.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
I firmly believe that everyone has strengths that can help to manage other areas of our lives.
