Angela Repella
MA, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor of Total Life Counseling Center

“I’m Angie, a licensed mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals of all ages find healing. I specialize in guiding children, adolescents, adults, and families through emotional and relational challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and family conflict. My aim is to cultivate a safe and supportive environment where clients can freely express themselves, explore their emotions, and develop essential skills for healing and resilience.”
Angela’s Bio
Philosophy of Care
I am trained and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful, evidence-based therapy that assists individuals in processing and healing from traumatic or distressing experiences. For adults, EMDR is particularly effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and negative self-beliefs, while fostering a greater sense of peace and empowerment.
When working with children, I frequently incorporate Play Therapy techniques. This developmentally appropriate approach allows children to process their thoughts and feelings through play, helping them express what they may not yet have the words for and providing tools to understand and manage difficult emotions in a safe environment.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel when emotions weigh heavily, whether you’re a child seeking your voice, a teen navigating life’s uncertainties, an adult carrying the weight of past experiences, or a parent searching for support. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Healing is possible, and together, we can forge a path forward.”
