Angela Mullins

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hello, and welcome! My name is Angela Mullins, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) serving clients throughout Kentucky. I have over five years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and a trauma-informed approach.

While my background is rooted in marriage and family therapy, I also specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and I have additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My goal is to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, helping them heal from the past while building the skills needed to move forward with confidence.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I believe therapy should be collaborative, and I work alongside each client to identify meaningful goals and develop practical tools for lasting change.

For clients who desire it, I am also comfortable integrating Christian faith into the counseling process. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from John Hobson Bible Training Center and enjoy supporting individuals who wish to incorporate their faith as part of their healing journey, while always respecting each client's personal beliefs and preferences.

Whether you're struggling with trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, or simply feeling stuck, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Louisville

Searching for therapists in Louisville starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or work stress. Others want a therapist with training in a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on in therapy.

Louisville has a broad mental health care network across areas like Old Louisville, the Highlands, Downtown, and nearby neighborhoods. That gives you options, while still making it useful to narrow your search by location, appointment availability, and session format. Some people prefer meeting in person near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility. Reading therapist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.

Therapy in Louisville can be a significant expense without insurance, so finding a therapist who accepts your plan matters. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected cost before care begins. Headway helps you compare Louisville therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
