Are you feeling a little lost and frustrated trying to find “the right therapist" for you? Have you ever wished to completely be yourself in front of someone without worrying about being judged? Do you want to feel seen, heard, and understood by someone? I am here to help. I am ready to listen to your deep stories that you couldn't share with anyone and to better understand you with compassion, curiosity, and an open mind. As an immigrant with diverse educational, religious, and family backgrounds growing up in multiple countries, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate various cultures, institutions, and systems.

I am a Teletherapy/Videocounseling services provider in Florida and accept insurance and private payments. However, outside Florida, I only accept private payments. Taking the step to seek counseling is a brave and patient choice that can help you develop coping skills and improve your life. I have assisted clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues in the past. You can purchase a set of 64 Therapy Cards in English, French, and Spanish on Amazon. These cards motivate you on your journey to improved mental health.

My name is Angela Waterfall and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience working with people to move toward a life they deserve. I have work experience in an inpatient setting, outpatient clinic, and private practice which helps me understand the many different needs and goals individuals might have. I love working with all ages and mainly work with those who are 16+. The individuals I work with experience many different symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or psychosis. I also have loved ones living with mental health concerns which helps me understand the value of therapy.

Are you not feeling like your usual self? Are stress, work, family pressure, relocation and/or life overwhelming you? Is there simply too much going on? Sometimes our brain won't turn off worrying, sometimes it is difficult to get out of bed or get a good night's rest, other times it is tough to buckle down and focus. If you'd like to feel more calm, more relaxed, less upset, and more happy - let's chat. Therapy can help, even if you're not sure how. My approach focuses not just on having fewer negative emotions, but also on experiencing more positive emotions. I see mental health as part of one's overall wellness.

Deciding to seek professional help for problems in your life is a big step, and it is my goal to make that choice as rewarding as possible. I believe in cultivating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore the challenges you face. It is my hope that clients will be able to use the safety of our therapeutic relationship to learn how to approach these challenges with curiosity instead of fear. Together, we can find ways to face those challenges head-on with courage and authenticity, and embark on a journey toward self-discovery, healing, and peace of mind.

The goal is to get good at life, not get good at going to therapy. Build a toolbox of specific skills that help with your mental health. I help people with depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and many other areas of struggle. The goal is to assess and give interventions that gain control of life and heal.

If you're hurting right now that doesn't mean something is wrong with you. Many people who work with me learn that the behaviors they want to overcome are normal responses to life’s challenges. That doesn’t mean that you need to get used to sleepless nights, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or depressive episodes. I’ll help you make sense of why you are responding in these ways and together we’ll help you find relief. The work we do will involve radical self-acceptance.
