Angela Petrosino views psychotherapy as a powerful space for creating positive change—one where increased self-awareness, emotional intelligence, healthier coping skills, and improved relationships can lead to meaningful growth in both mental and physical well-being. She believes people come to therapy when they recognize something in their life isn’t working and are ready to explore their patterns with honesty and courage. Angela considers it an honor to provide a safe, compassionate environment where clients can understand where they’ve been, appreciate where they are, and move toward where they want to go. Guided by the core social work values of dignity, service, justice, integrity, and the importance of human relationships, she teaches, challenges, validates, and celebrates clients throughout their healing journey. Her own experiences with hardship and ongoing personal growth deepen her empathy and reinforce her commitment to walking alongside others at any stage of their healing. Angela reassures those unsure about starting therapy that seeking help is a major strength—and that if the therapeutic process isn’t meeting their needs, it may simply require adjusting the approach, addressing other contributing factors, or finding a therapist with a better fit or specialization. Ultimately, she partners with clients to understand their history, beliefs, goals, and stressors, helping them build the insight and resilience needed to create healthier patterns and a more fulfilling life.
