Angela Clausen

I am a licensed Clinical Psychotherapist and have provided over 25 years of focused treatment in brain and body-based modalities which are effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, performance anxiety (college/high school testing), fears, phobias, chronic pain, and illness. I combine Brainspotting, Clinical Hypnosis, Accelerated Resolution and EMDR to create a holistic, person-centered strengths approach. The difficulty of experiencing a trauma, intergenerational trauma, or coping with anxiety can lead to your nervous system being stuck in overdrive. This can create havoc on you spiritually, physically, emotionally, relationally and financially. This can make it hard for you to achieve your goals or enjoy life's moments. Continued stress can impact your health, leading to disease and chronic health conditions. To cope, you may struggle with addiction, dissociation, or isolation, which impacts your ability to develop healthy and intimate relationships. It may feel easy to put off healing to disconnect from the pain, but the reality is that it is impacting the different phases of your life. Entering college, the workforce, marriage, divorce, and retirement can all be times where you may experience these past events coming to the forefront. Working on healing as soon as possible can benefit your tomorrow. I believe in your healing capacity and know that you don't have to live stuck in a constant state of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. It begins with calming the nervous system and getting to underlying cause uprooting in a safe space. You were born with an internal system that knows how to regulate and we are all capable of growth and improved functioning through neuroplasticity in our brains! We are NEVER too old to reorganize and rewire for change that serves our highest self. I offer intensives where you can receive up to 3 hours of half day sessions combing all the treatment approaches. This may be an option is for people who don't want to spend years in therapy and want to expedite months of treatment. I am HONORED to be part of you healing journey! Let's partner together to release the toxicity that is no longer serving you. If you have been going to talk therapy and have continued to suffer, I encourage you to try a different approach. Hypnosis is used around the world to address health conditions, anxiety, fears and addictions. Major health care providers around the world offer Hypnosis including the Mayo Clinic and Cleaveland Clinic. It is recommended that hypnosis is incorporated by a health care provider and someone that has obtained training that addresses your areas of concern. I have been trained as a medical support specialist as well and have taken a 8-week immersive hypnosis program as well as received consultation from the American Society of Hypnosis and have completed their training for health care providers. I am certified and a Consultant for Brainspotting and have taken a variety of training as well as have assisted in the Brainspotting community to deepen my training and development since 2021. I have found Brainspotting to be an amazing modality to address PTSD, anxiety and performance related issues. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy which is therapy that issue that is used to address trauma and [past triggering events that are holding you back from living your best life. This technique combines, guided imagery, somatic awareness, bilateral eye movement, gestalt techniques, and exposure therapy. I have been trained in EMDR for over 20 years and find using all the above tools together create an effective approach to addressing concerns that go back all the way developmentally or throughout your lifespan that can wreak havoc on your stress level and day to day peace.
