Session Attendance and Initial Appointment Expectations

For new clients, all intake forms and required documentation must be completed on the same day that the initial appointment fee is paid and prior to the first session.

The initial session is designed to gather comprehensive background information and develop an understanding of your unique circumstances. During this appointment, you will be asked to discuss your personal history, current concerns, patterns and challenges, previous treatment experiences, coping strategies, and goals for therapy. You will also have the opportunity to describe what you hope to achieve through the therapeutic process.

At the conclusion of the initial session, Dr. Angelina will provide clinical impressions and recommendations regarding potential treatment goals and next steps. The first appointment serves as the foundation for establishing a productive therapeutic relationship and determining whether the services offered are an appropriate fit for your needs.

Successful therapy is built upon a collaborative partnership characterized by trust, honesty, mutual respect, and active participation. Clients are encouraged to engage openly in the therapeutic process and to remain receptive to exploring new perspectives, communication styles, and approaches to personal growth.

Therapy is most effective when clients approach the process with a commitment to self-exploration and change. A guiding principle of treatment is the willingness to be Honest, Open, and Willing qualities that help foster meaningful insight, personal development, and progress toward therapeutic goals.

It’s not always easy to be objective about our own needs. But much like we’ll feel symptoms if our physical health is suffering, we’ll feel symptoms if our emotional well-being is suffering, too. If you are feeling tired, depressed, ill-tempered or anxious about parts of your life, those are symptoms you shouldn’t ignore. Fear, anxiety or addictions that are interfering with your life, are also symptoms. These symptoms indicate the need to seek the professional guidance of a therapist. Other, more serious indicators include trouble sleeping or eating. If you have the desire to hurt yourself, or are engaging in some type of self-harm, you should seek care as  soon as possible.

Depth psychology looks beyond symptoms to explore the deeper emotional patterns, beliefs, dreams, and unconscious influences shaping your life. Developed from the work of Carl Jung and other pioneers in psychology, it recognizes that anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions often carry deeper meaning. Through reflection, dream work, creativity, symbolism, and conversation, depth psychology helps you better understand yourself and move toward greater healing, wholeness, and purpose.

Research shows that it is not the theoretical orientation of the therapist that matters as much as the warmth and the quality of the patient-therapist relationship in terms of patient and therapy outcome. Your best bet is to find a therapist you like and can personally relate to and find a connection with. I tend to draw from a variety of types of therapy in my practice, depending on the patient and their needs, including art therapy and psychoanalytic therapy modalities.

I love talking with people and being able to help improve their lives, take them to the next level. I help them get the most out of life. People let you into their hearts and minds, and what you find there is always touching and fascinating.
