Angela Atwater, LCSW	Last Updated: 04/08/2012

LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I provide individual therapy in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. I act as a guide and challenge you to explore what and why things may not be "working" in your life, as well as provide support and feedback to you. Finding a therapist who is a "good fit" for you can be difficult, so call me and we can discuss what you are looking for further. I specialize in helping clients work through relationship difficulties, overall "unhappiness" in life, and anxiety and depression issues.

In June 2010, I received a Certificate in Jungian Psychotherapy after completion of a 2-year clinical training program, which focuses on Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago.

You can reach me via email here or quicker by calling me directly at: 773-456-9080.
