About Angela Jackson

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Tennessee with NCC certification (meeting national counselor standards). I earned my M.A. degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University-Nashville. As a licensed mental health professional, I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults who are challenged with anxiety, depression, impulse control, communication and overall adjustment to life changes. My work with adults include group settings, couples and family counseling. Also, I am passionate about working with newly diagnosed patients with autoimmune deficiencies to address the initial adjustment, anxiety, and depression that comes with chronic conditions and sudden life changes. While I provided services for a diverse group of clients, I extends my reach in underserved black communities and people of color offering support, psycheducation, and resources. I have served over 16 years in the helping field blazing trails as a mentor, educator, advocate, therapist, clinical supervisor, author and transformational speaker. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, solution- focused and humanistic in nature.

“She’s the best. Sweet, caring, attentive. No judgement”

“She is the first person I feel I can truly be myself and not keep anything hidden from. She listens and provides meaningful feedback. She is a pure joy to be around.”

“Angela is the best. As someone who grew up with not many women to support and encourage me, she is the BEST!!!!!!!!! Hands down, the BEST. I love her. She’s very responsive and attentive. She actively listens and she cares so much about her clients.”

“I was hesitant to go back to therapy. But, Angela has been so amazing. I thought I would know what questions or feedback she would give me and I was so wrong! I appreciate her insight and homework she offers. I truly feel like in this return to therapy, she has helped me. She allows for candor and straightforwardness while being professional. I really feel like I can be honest with my feelings with her even if they might be raw and she handles them with care and concern. She always has my best interest at heart!”

“She makes it so easy to relax and be myself this my first time going to therapy and she makes me<br /> Wanna be better thanks to her expertise”

“I love Angela. She is professional and makes me feel cared for and understood.”

“Friendly and calm”

“Really appreciate Angela's insights! Helped me assess my situation in a new way that allowed me to move forward.”

“Love every session”

“I feel like she listens to what I say. Provides positive reinforcement and I feel like she can relate to what I’m talking about.”

“Angela has been fantastic since day one. As someone who was hesitant to begin therapy, she created a very comfortable atmosphere by explaining how therapy can be whatever you need it to be. Since, she has helped me open up and discover things about myself I had not previously realized. She offers many different perspectives and she does a great job of asking the right questions to generate deep thinking. She shares resources that are specific to my needs, and she provides new resources as my needs change. She keeps current with standard practices and she applies her knowledge very efficiently. She has helped me significantly. She is incredibly reliable with her communication. If you’re looking for a therapist who will pay full attention to you, get to know your needs, and constantly strive to provide with what you need, she is one of the best! I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I love my time with Angela. She has always provided the safe space I needed which makes it easy for me to open up and address my truths. This journey with her has been life-shifting, and I'm so grateful for the amount of work that I have put in thanks to her guidance.”
