Angela Bennett

Dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 9+ years of experience in inpatient forensic psychiatric settings. Expert in conducting comprehensive mental health assessments, managing complex dually-diagnosed caseloads. I have a Masters In Criminal Justice and a Masters in Social Work. I have experience with individuals that are seriously mentally ill and the homeless population. I also have experience working with co-occuring substance abuse disorders. I can provide case management and crisis intervention. I also will be starting a support group for families who have loved ones suffering from chronic serious mental illness and homelessness. I can work with families or individuals. My focus is on helping patients who have a diagnosis of Schziophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar, DID, Borderline to name a few.

I believe a thorough Psycho Social Evaluation lays the framework for treatment. Discovering what has worked and not worked in the past and going from there.
