Angellina Swart, LCSW is a social worker who has been in practice for six years. She is passionate about helping people access their strengths to overcome anxiety,

depression, and substance use disorders. Although she mainly works with adults, she does have experience working with children. She prefers to be authentic with her

clients to make them feel more comfortable and welcome in the therapeutic setting. She incorporates how external systems (family, work, policy, etc.) can affect a client’s well-

being and impact a person’s mental health.
