Are you feeling anxious or stuck? Do you want to make changes but feel unmotivated or uncertain of how to make it happen? I am an LCSW working in direct practice for over 10 years throughout New York City, and I've had the opportunity to help people grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationships, sexuality, career changes, and many other major life issues. My client base includes people working in creative fields trying to assert their artistic vision while making a living, and people moving through major life transitions such as exploring a new identity or recovering from the loss of a loved one.

When we work together you can expect to see a mix of the following: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative automatic thoughts, good for anxiety and depression. A psychodynamic approach which looks at family development, past and present relationships. Or Gestalt/ parts work, which could take the form of role plays with others, or conversations with our childhood selves.

SHIFT Your Journey Mental Health Counseling, is a licensed mental health private practice based in Connecticut (CT) and New York (NY). Our team of dedicated therapists aim to provide a safe and affirming space for communities of color to heal, grow and thrive. Our approach to care is holistic, evidence-based and culturally responsive.

Depression and anxiety are some of the most debilitating conditions that a person can face. Caught in their grips we may feel overwhelmed and paralyzed. We may start to think that we are broken or that something is wrong with us. Not realizing that such conditions are far more common than we think. What makes it even more difficult is having nobody to speak to about our experience. You’ve dealt with this alone for long enough; let me show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Imagine the dark cloud of depression lifting from your mind. See your anxiety melting away like ice in the sun.

Relationships are essential to living, giving us opportunity to grow, heal, and learn. Psychotherapy is a transformative relationship of self investment where you can honestly reflect upon your innermost needs and feelings. It's a process where ultimately you can improve upon your decision making, communication, relationships, and work towards an optimum quality of life. In my practice I provide relief and effective problem solving for the stressors encountered in the fast-paced, urban life of NYC. I help individuals reduce distress while enhancing their inner strengths and assist couples improve intimacy and communication.

My goal as a therapist is to help put you in the driver's seat of your life. By collaboratively exploring the past and present we will work to develop the self understanding that will allow you to change, develop, and feel more fulfilled. My approach is to respect your essential dignity and to provide a safe environment by listening without judgement. My training is holistic and I draw from such theories as Narrative, CBT, Imago, Solution Oriented, and anything else that seems useful and constructive to the therapeutic process.

Sometimes we need support tackling the challenges that life throws at us. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults and families in a variety of settings including health care and mental health.

I also work with women in medicine and stem careers.

Are you feeling upset, overwhelmed or lacking confidence due to transitions in your life? Adapting to a change, even if it is wanted and expected, can be challenging. Life changes can involve losses such as the end of a relationship, a death or job reversal; but positive changes, like leaving for college, entering the work force, becoming a new parent and relocating can also be stressful and scary. People often fear and avoid change causing them to feel stuck and leading to missed opportunities.

Drawing upon experiences working in higher education, music, and art, I believe that all individuals possess the ability to grow and change. I view therapy as an opportunity to collaboratively explore, identify, and resolve your specific life challenges. Using compassionate and evidence based interventions combined with your own unique strengths, I can help you better understand your emotions, behaviors, and relationships so that you can make lasting positive changes and achieve your goals.

Are you living the life you want? Is your relationship a source of pain for you? Are you arguing more, trusting less, or finding yourself not looking forward to spending time together? Maybe your relationship feels stuck, like you're just replaying the same disagreement over and over again. Do you not like the person you are when you're in a relationship or wonder why you keep repeating patterns in the type of person you date? Human beings are wired for connection, yet somehow the people we are closest with also seem to cause us the most pain.

My name is Angela Mang and I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York State. I take a person-centered approach to therapy and believe everyone is equipped with the tools already to solve their own problems, therapy can help to bring those to the surface. My areas of focus tend to be anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and strength-based therapy.

I find I do my best work with teens and millennial adults who struggle with childhood and complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem and self-worth issues, relational trauma and depression. Past traumatic experiences shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we regulate our emotions. I utilize the therapy space as a way to help you build empathy and understanding for yourself, develop insight into long-term relational patterns that may be holding you back, and build skills for emotional regulation.

First time to therapy? 2nd? 250th? Fear not! Clarity awaits on the other side of developing and applying insight. Every individual deserves to find a meaningful sense of purpose, direction, and belonging. After our first session together, I want for you to feel seen, understood, and supported upon a path of increasing possibility. My hope is that you will feel more capable in the moment of managing what life has waiting for you next.
