About Angela Sheffler

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri. I have ten years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings, including residential, acute inpatient, in home, and in schools. I have the most experience working with children, teens, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, major life changes, and trauma/abuse history. I also have experience working with intellectual disabilities, depression, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. LGBTQ+ individuals have been a large part of my experience over the past 3 years.
My passion for the field comes from working with others to help them become the best version of themselves. I always tell my clients that I am walking alongside them in their journey-not leading the way. I firmly believe that we are all the experts on ourselves and I work hard to meet clients where they are on their own journey.
My style could be described as caring and validating, with a holistic approach. I am warm, supportive, and down to earth. I enjoy sharing mindfulness skills and other calming strategies as well as communication skills. I believe in practicing skills and promoting confidence in individuals. I believe that gaining positive views of self, practicing skills, and working through any sort of trauma takes time to heal and I want to be able to help you in any way that I can.
I check and respond to messages regularly during the week and will respond as quickly as possible! On the weekends, I do take the time for my family and will not respond to messages from Friday at 4 pm until Monday morning.

“Absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful and guided me through many difficult areas in my life. Highly recommend her ❤️”

“Angela is very good at pinpointing my issues. I am very self aware, but she has a way of pulling things out that I have minimized in order to just get through the day. She is fantastic.”

“Angela is amazing, she is a great listener & she actually understands what I am trying to say. If she doesn't understand, then she will ask to get a better understanding so she can help in the best way. Angela wanted to find out the history & background to why I was looking for counseling. And then asked what I wanted to focus on in counseling so it could be the most effective for me.<br /> Angela also reaches out to check on me if it's been a little while since she's heard from me. Angela has been my saving grace! I had almost given up on the idea of finding a counselor that could help me.”

“I would recommend Angela to anyone! She is amazing and has helped me so much. She takes time to remember details about my life and makes me feel appreciated and valued. She is a very warm and welcoming person and it makes appointments feel like talking between very good friends or family.”

“Thoughtful, helpful and overall fantastic”
