FAQ'S

Angela currently provides counseling services exclusively for adult women. This allows her practice to focus on creating a supportive environment tailored to the unique experiences and needs of the women she serves.

Angela Sutton provides personalized counseling using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
• Mindfulness
• Financial Coaching

Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual based on their unique goals and needs.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people process and reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories, distressing images, and related symptoms. ART combines guided eye movements with mental imagery to help the brain process difficult experiences differently, often allowing clients to experience meaningful relief in just a few sessions.

ART has been used to help individuals experiencing:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Anxiety disorders
• Depression
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Eating disorders
• Trauma associated with dyslexia and other learning challenges

Both ART and EMDR use guided eye movements to help process difficult memories. According to the source material, ART is generally more directive, follows a structured process, and focuses on replacing distressing mental images rather than extensive verbal processing of traumatic experiences.

Angela incorporates evidence-based therapies - including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) - that are recognized for helping individuals develop healthier coping strategies and manage symptoms associated with anxiety. During counseling, Angela works with each client to determine the approach that best fits their needs.

Yes. Angela offers Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based approach specifically designed to help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories and distressing experiences. ART helps clients process difficult memories in a safe, structured way while reducing the emotional and physical reactions they may trigger.

Every client is unique. Angela uses a personalized approach and will work with you to determine which therapeutic approach, or combination of approaches, is the best fit for your goals, experiences, and comfort level.

Mindfulness focuses on developing present-moment awareness without judgment. Angela may incorporate techniques such as mindful breathing, body scans, mindfulness meditation, and mindful walking to help clients improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and build resilience.

Angela provides practical financial coaching influenced by Dave Ramsey's principles of disciplined money management. Coaching focuses on developing healthy financial habits, creating realistic budgets, and helping clients feel more intentional and confident with their finances.

Angela is not a financial advisor. She provides budgeting guidance, hands-on support, and information about community resources.

The minimum counseling session is one hour for $150. After the initial hour, additional time is available in 15-minute increments for $37.50, allowing clients to schedule the amount of time that best fits their needs.

Angela has chosen a cash-based practice because it allows clients greater flexibility in the length of their sessions and keeps the focus on their individual needs rather than insurance requirements. It also allows clients to seek counseling without the need for a mental health diagnosis solely for insurance reimbursement.

Angela does not accept insurance. However, she is happy to provide a superbill for clients who wish to submit claims to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Angela accepts:

• Cash
• Personal checks
• Money orders
• Cashier's checks
• Debit cards
• Credit cards (a processing fee applies)

Yes. One advantage of Angela's cash-based practice is the flexibility to schedule additional time beyond the initial one-hour session. Additional time is available in 15-minute increments so your appointment can better fit your individual needs.
