Angela Hosey
Introduction
My name is Angela and first and foremost I want to say that it is a privilege to work with my clients, not a right. Please allow me to share a little bit about myself. I was born in Ukraine and immigrated to the United States with my family when I was 8 years old. As such, I have personal knowledge of how culture, adjusting to a new culture and major life changes, as well as how traumatic experiences (purposely omitted) play a role in our lives.
My career began in the legal field from the age of 18 and at the age of 23, I became a certified paralegal after attending Long Island University’s paralegal program. My legal profession lasted 16 years and fulfilled one of my purposes in life. Later, in my early 40’s I decided to follow my passion of becoming a therapist, which took 6 years to achieve as I needed to obtain a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree while raising two kids on my own (they were 12 and 15 at the time). I earned a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and a Masters in Social Work, both from Florida Atlantic University. During this time my kids and I quickly learned how to work together as a team and this venture aided in my children’s personal, spiritual, educational and professional growth.
My journey in life taught me that I am Resilient, Determined, Driven, Motivated, Compassionate, Passionate, an Empath. Why am I sharing this? Mainly because I believe each individual is capable of being the best version of themselves and has a purpose in life, and likely more than one. And, because personal growth is a lifelong journey that is worth taking. Also, to acknowledge that as we journey through life, it’s common to experience obstacles that challenge us along the way. We may encounter difficulties we wish to overcome or we are looking to acquire new skills to improve our journey through life and I believe that personalized and compassionate support can help.
Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. I am experienced in working with a vast variety of issues including but not limited to, traumas, addiction, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, as well as motivation, marital and family issues, anger management, and more. I will be your cheerleader and look forward to being a part of your voyage in life.
