Angela Paggett, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is a native of Atlanta, GA. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Columbus State University, and her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University. She actively practices mental health therapy with college students, adults, and families. She prefers client centered therapy, as she wants her clients to feel comfortable in asking questions and expressing themselves in whatever way they choose to show up in the therapeutic space.
Her training provided her with the tools to work with anyone; it’s not about the person or party who comes to therapy, but rather their relationship to the problem. As a practicing collaborative therapist, her clients are the authors of their own story, while as their therapist and illustrator, she helps her clients to rewrite and rethink parts of their lives that allow them to recreate a new story that fits with their life goals moving forward.
Talk therapy is not a linear process, so she incorporates pop culture, and life experiences to help clients create boundaries, tools, and coping skills to help navigate day-to-day lives in and outside of therapy.
She specializes in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life changes/transitions, and relationship issues.
Angela has multiple training certificates, including the Postpartum Support International (PSI) Maternal Mental Health Certificate, Grief, and CBT Training. Her Ellie trainings include IMAGO Couples, The Treatment of Dissociation: Reviving a Much Needed Skillset, Understanding Law Enforcement Through a Therapeutic Lens, and Understanding the First Responder Cultures: For Mental Health Staff (through International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc.).
In her spare time, she enjoys reading, watching movies and TV shows, finding new restaurants, and spending time with her friends and family. If you are ready to take a step in getting to know yourself and experiencing a better understanding of who you are, please do not hesitate to make an appointment and she can’t wait to hear your story.
