Angela Wiley offers a free telephone consultation to answer basic questions and determine if therapy services are appropriate. Following this consultation, Angela sets up three consultation sessions where therapy takes place on a "try out" basis. Upon completing these three sessions, one either enters a therapeutic relationship setting up goals or is given a referral to a more appropriate source.
After the telephone consultation, Angela will direct you to fill out the appropriate therapy forms to bring with you on the first session. This allows for more time getting to know each other and less time completing paperwork.
When coming to your first session, come in comfortable clothing that you can move in. Some find the office a bit chilly when sitting still so it is recommended to bring a light sweater or jacket. One may go barefoot or wear socks, most take off their shoes (Angela is never in shoes).
The office is a large room where you can run and toss balls in. It glows in the dark and is a wonderful place, inspiring those to play and explore feelings, emotions, and struggles. The office space provides containment to help people explore trauma in a safe and creative way so that past experiences don’t have to be the first thing you think of when you wake up and introduce yourself to others. Angela helps people bring change for the future and take control of their lives and choices.
