Grief counselors and therapists in Hendersonville, TN

My current treatment focuses/ training are for perinatal mental health, and Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT). I'm passionate about working with the BIPOC population, LGBTQ+ population, teens, young adults, and older as they learn how to navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I'm dedicated to working with those of various backgrounds and walks of life.

Hello, I'm Angela and my practice is called Mindful Healing. I have been a nurse for thirty four years and Practitioner for the last 6. I graduated with honors from Southern Adventist University with my Masters in Psychiatric care. I started my career helping first responders deal with PTSD. I treat depression and anxiety, along with ADHD and much more. I have extensive experience in addictions of all types. I care about my patients, and you will not be just a number if you choose to have me as your provider.

I’m a licensed psychologist with advanced training in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. I earned my doctorate in Counseling Psychology and have worked across clinical, wellness, and consulting settings supporting individuals navigating burnout, identity stress, trauma, mood disorders and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), particularly Black women and professionals who are tired of carrying it all and ready to live with more clarity, boundaries, and ease. My work is deeply relational—I believe healing happens in connection, not isolation—and I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the room.

Outside of therapy, I love vacationing and traveling (rest is not a reward, it’s a right), hosting gatherings at my home, spending time with loved ones, and creating soulful experiences through writing, speaking, and wellness work. Clients often describe me as grounded, warm, and direct—the kind of therapist who will validate you and help you move forward.

Areas of focus include: Burnout and stress management Life transitions and identity exploration Trauma and stuck patterns Boundary-setting and people-pleasing High-achieving professionals navigating overwhelm Clients from marginalized and intersectional identities

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

If you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression, you’ve found a warm and steady place to start. I’m a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and mindfulness has been a deeply important part of my own life and my work for nearly 30 years. Over the years, I’ve completed intensive meditation training in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, experiences that have profoundly shaped how I understand healing, presence, and the connection between mind and body. I’d be honored to bring all of that to you.
