Angela Burleigh
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Angela’s heart as a counselor is to walk alongside people during difficult periods of their lives —helping them hold on to hope for true healing as they navigate the hurts, habits, and hang-ups that cause them to feel stuck. She’s had to do lots of difficult work in her own spiritual and emotional journey, and can appreciate how exhausting, confusing, and intimidating this process can be.
Angela takes a holistic approach to counseling by looking at how God designed our physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual natures to interact with each other. She has experience with a variety of areas including singleness, phase of life issues, codependency, spiritual numbness, depression, anger, anxiety, trauma, miscarriage, relationship stress, and marriage conflict. She draws from several counseling methodologies like Relational/Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, EMDR, Neuroscience, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Angela received her master’s degree in counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary in Oviedo, and is also trained to use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and administer the PREPARE/ENRICH couples assessment tool.
When she’s not counseling, Angela loves reading a good story, sipping strong coffee, and going on adventures. Before she was married, that included traipsing the world doing cross-cultural mission work. Now, as a wife of a fun-loving elementary school teacher and mother of two rambunctious little ones, it’s morphed into trips to the zoo, science center, and a good hiking trail.
