Creating balance in mind, body and spirit is my personal and professional mission. I have been in the counseling field for over two decades. My experience has been very extensive from working with young children in a psychiatric setting to counseling the Geriatric population in hospital and nursing home settings to educating clients on integrative therapeutic approaches like yoga. Currently, my focus has been treating women issues, depression and anxiety issues, physical illness and traumas, parenting issues, cognitive impairment and life transitions. I prefer adults but have been skilled in working with children.

While I am inclined towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am well versed in the Solution Focused models and I am always broadening my skill set to adopt new techniques.
My name is Dr. Angela Dover; I am the owner of Innovative Counseling and have been in the mental health services for over ten years.

Currently I am developing tools for anti bullying and peer inclusion for implementation in schools. In addition to child psychology, I am well versed in adult issues. Ranging from individual to couples counseling, I have practiced in a variety of techniques.

The client and I work on these goals using several evidence-based interventions, such as CBT, interpersonal therapy, grief and trauma work to modify learned unhelpful responses.
Many women experience emotional challenges that manifest as anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. These symptoms may appear suddenly or over time in response to a major life occurrence. My niche clinical practice focuses on women's issues- particularly within the areas of loss and grief, physical and sexual trauma, and maternal mental health. My experience as a grief and trauma therapist services women who experience emotional and behavioral issues in response to miscarriage, infertility, postpartum depression, and other women’s issues that involve mood disorders, anxiety and decreased relationship satisfaction.

I incorporate methods from CBT, DBT and am trained in EMDR.
Right now it may be hard to imagine a place of ease or emotional stability, much less the possibility of lightness and joy. You may feel that the events that have marked your life, whether stifling, painful or traumatic, will always have the power to define you. As a therapist, I am here to help you see that they won't. Together we will discover the ways in which you can move beyond limitations, often by tapping into your own unrecognized wisdom. I have helped individual clients move through challenges such as life transitions, grief, loss, health issues, parenting struggles, long-term relationship and marital crisis.

Utilizing CBT, Exposure (ERP), and Existential therapies, clients can explore their awareness of themselves in the present, their emotional experiences, their discomfort, how they choose to be themselves, and how to take responsibility for their lives in ways that help them feel empowered and free.
The weight of being alive, alone, hopeless, or stuck can feel unbearable or suffocating. Often we may feel that we know where we'd like to be in life, but don't know how to get there, or maybe we don't see a future at all. How does one overcome this sense of dread, or make sense from meaninglessness? It is my hope through authentic connections with others, we can discover what it means for each of us to live fully, thoroughly, and well. Conversations begin in an environment in which clients can feel safe, heard, and free to be themselves.

As a licensed therapist and clinical supervisor with training in EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), and Collaborative Assessment and Management in Suicidality (CAMS),.
The environment I strive to create in counseling is one of unconditional acceptance, authenticity, and compassion. My approach to counseling comes from the Existential school of thought. Together and without judgment we can explore difficult topics like the feeling of meaninglessness of existence, the impermanence of all, and the anxiety that comes from our freedom to be the authors of our lives. The journey to find meaning and purpose in life can at times feel isolating, however you do not have to walk down that road alone.
