Dr. Angela Ryckman-Thalassites

Hi, I’m Dr. Angela Ryckman-Thalassites. I’m a licensed professional counselor, counselor educator, and clinical supervisor. I’ve worked with people navigating sexuality, trauma, stress, anxiety, relationships, identity, body image, and major life changes.

I have a particular interest in women’s experiences, relationships, sexuality and sexual wellness, body image, trauma, and life transitions, including the changes that can come with midlife and perimenopause.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can start wherever you are.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, talk openly, and feel understood without judgment. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed. We’ll work together to understand what’s going on, figure out what you need, and find practical ways to help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself and your life.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. We’ll discuss what you’re experiencing, what you would like to change, and what you hope to get out of counseling.

I’ll ask questions to better understand you and your experiences, but this is not an interrogation or a test. You can share at your own pace. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can be honest and feel heard.

Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and what support might be most helpful. You don’t need to know exactly what you need or have everything figured out before we meet. We can figure that out together.
