About Angela
I am a licensed professional counselor with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I completed training through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) to obtain theĀ elite Certified Sex Addiction Therapist title. I then further trained with the Addo Recovery team in Linden, UT to specialize in Betrayal Trauma for families impacted by infidelity, betrayal, addiction, pornography and abandonment. I am EMDR II and Brainspotting trained for trauma-specific processing and more general client empowerment. Most recently I trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help clients move past recurring thoughts and images from painful experiences.
I provide individual, couples, and group intensives and workshops in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina.
I am available in-person and remotely and can help assist with formal disclosures (and the immediate days following) in a private retreat setting.

Cynical... and whatever!
Betrayal can leave us cynical and numb. These intense reactions to the pain and disorientation can be helpful for a time. But how do we regain softness, openness, and the ability to see good and beauty around us every day, without burying our heads in the sand or minimizing our experiences? This special workgroup explores a return to life utilizing the book, "Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness" by Jamil Zaki, and other excellent sources. Registration coming soon!
Free Drop-In Support Group every Sunday Night
Angela moderates the Co-Ed Prodependence Partner Drop-In support group. This is not a 12-step group nor is it therapy; it is a place to share struggles or triumphs, to give and receive support, and to just not be alone.Ā
This is for all genders, all orientations, and all relationship statuses.Ā We want this to be a safe place for all who identify as being a betrayed partner.
Seeking Integrity's Betrayed Partners Groups
Dr. Rob Weiss wrote his books on Prodependence to support healing for betrayed partners - not to pathologize them for loving someone who is broken and struggling. This workgroup provides education and support for partners who want to learn how to navigate this path - one that they did not choose for themselves.
Prodependence
Angela has been an advocate for Prodependence treatment for loved ones of addicts since the start of her career and the introduction of the new model by Dr. Robert Weiss. Read her articles on prodependence.com to learn more about why Prodependence matters and how it can inform treatment of betrayal trauma and sex addiction.
