Angela Taylor Shields, L.C.P.C.
Therapist

Angela loves seeing people grow and become who they were created to be. She feels privileged to walk beside her clients as they move towards more fulfilling lives.

Angela joined Alliance in 2005 from a diverse background in both community mental health and private practice settings. Angela works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Particular areas of interest include: relational conflict/communication difficulties; issues of self-esteem; loss and grief; play therapy with children; premarital and marital counseling; women’s issues; post-partum challenges; and spiritual growth. Angela also specializes in working with post-abortion issues through both individual psychotherapy and group settings.

Angela brings a warm and open approach to counseling, nurturing a collaborative relationship with clients and creating an environment where clients can freely express their feelings.

"I admire the courage of my clients. Looking at emotional hurts is not an easy process, but the journey is so worthwhile. On the other side of the pain is a greater sense of wholeness and freedom."

Angela earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College and she is licensed as a Clinical Professional Counselor.

Angela values time with family and friends, and she serves in her church community. In her spare time, Angela enjoys painting, listening to live music, cooking, being near the ocean, and giggling with her young son.
