Angela Vilas

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with substantive experience in clinical settings. After experiencing how impactful depression and anxiety were during my teen years, I dedicated my career to helping others overcome feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Our minds can get stuck in a vicious, negative cycle that keeps us stagnant. Overthinking and racing thoughts can be overwhelming. Depressed moods can make us feel stuck. Constantly shifting moods can be exhausting. But there are ways to help lift ourselves out of the negative thought patterns that drive our emotions and behaviors. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, symptoms that feel insurmountable can become problems of the past.

My approach to therapy is to be "like a friend". I strive to be a clinician you can laugh with, learn from, and feel empowered by.

I am dedicated to working with young teens and adolescents that are struggling or just looking for support through a time chock-full of growth and change. By using a non-judgmental approach, adolescents under my care find a safe space to be open and honest about their victories and their troubles. The LGBTQIA+ community is welcomed and embraced as well. With extensive knowledge about the LGBTQIA+ community and the subcultures within, I aim to provide quality, culturally competent services.
