Angela Jerome (she/her) LPCC

I've been doing this work for over a decade. I began at an inner-city health center conducting assessments for medication-assisted treatment and psychiatry where I quickly wearied of the manner in which our healthcare systems operate. I started my private practice and haven't looked back. Counseling was not always my career of choice. I didn't enjoy working with the tools I had until I discovered Internal Family Systems in 2018. Not only did IFS change my life and how I see the world, it gave me a way to empower clients that simply doesn't exist in other modalities. I've worked with the model extensively since, and I will complete my Level 2 training with a focus on addictions and eating disorders by the end of 2026. As a counselor, I invest in my growth by remaining involved in my own counseling, coaching, or continued education at all times. Much of the journey of my thirties has been taking accountability for my privilege and making conscious efforts to dismantle systems of oppression within and without. MY PRACTICE: I guide clients on a journey of healing and Self leadership so they can live a free and fulfilling life. I use an integrative approach but primarily enjoy working with the Internal Family Systems model. We’ll get curious about the present, explore the past, and develop a plan for the future. I'm also a certified MBI life coach, and trained in EMDR. Words that describe my counseling style: de-pathologizing, compassionate, direct, playful, challenging, creative, and informative Words I hope never describe my counseling style: placating, judgmental, pathologizing, pitying, and disempowering My favorite parts to work with: the villainized parts in the cycle of addiction, inner critics, resentful parts, angry parts, high achieving parts, and skeptical parts Influences: Brene Brown, James Baldwin, Gabor Maté, Michelle Alexander, Martha Beck, Sonya Renee Taylor, Maya Angelou, Annie Dillard, Bell Hooks, Jess Finney, Resmaa Menakem TO GET STARTED: Reach out via the contact form if you're interested in scheduling a free, 15 minute consultation call.
