ANGELA PROSSER, MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist
ABOUT ME
I am a skilled and compassionate therapist with over 15 years of experience as a clinician in the mental health field. I am a therapist who believes in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and strives to create a safe, respectful and nonjudgmental environment to help you work towards your goals.
“I strive to work towards helping people achieve their goals, increase self-awareness, build coping skills, and most importantly make meaningful change in their lives”
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
I offer online individual therapy to adults struggling with a variety of issues such as, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, stress management, relationship challenges, coping with grief/loss, managing difficult emotions and coping with life transitions.
THERAPY APPROACH
I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches that are effective and catered to your individual needs. My primary therapy modalities include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT); Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT); Solution-Focused/Strength-based interventions; and Mindfulness approaches. I work from an anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed framework.
