Angelika Van Grinsven, MA, LPCC | In-person ONly
Angelika is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). She graduated from Regent University, VA, in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program with a Master’s Certificate in Trauma Counseling. She is trained in EMDR and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), with additional training in dissociative disorders, addiction, relational trauma, and IFS concepts. Angelika is also working on her dissertation for her PhD.
Trauma, like medical and abuse or natural disasters, affects every part of life; it creates many issues. Angelika teaches practical coping skills and helps clients explore and heal the past. She has experience with Domestic Violence, Substance Use, complex or developmental PTSD, LGBTQAI+, Depression, Anxiety, Dissociation, DID, suicide, and military concerns.
Past trauma and negative experiences affect present choices and behaviors. Once trauma is healed, a person can choose freely without avoiding triggers. If you are tired of just talk therapy and want real progress, you are in the right place. If you prefer someone direct, knowledgeable, and caring, Angelika is the counselor for you.
She would feel privileged to join you on your healing journey.
