Angela Nauss

My specialty is treating trauma and PTSD. I am the author of several articles about trauma. My published work and media are listed on my website, www.nausstherapy.com. I see patients virtually in the states: CO, CA, and AK. I work best with clients who are motivated to recover from specific symptoms disrupting their lives. My style is structured and involves homework assignments and following a protocol for sessions. If the kind of support you are looking for is someone to talk to regularly and process your journey, I am not the right therapist for that. Although I am an LMFT I am not a parent, so if you are looking for parenting support I am not the right fit. Things I work well with: trauma, social anxiety, panic disorder, sleep disruption, physical symptoms not caused by medical conditions(non-epileptic seizures, stomachaches, headaches), persistent anxiety, depression, shame, and guilt. Please note, if you are experiencing a body symptom I will require you to rule out a medical condition by visiting a doctor first. Please note: If my scheduling feature is "not working" or showing no available appointments it means I have no availability. I have no waiting list for new clients and you should reach out to other therapists. I cannot respond to new client inquiries left in my voicemail. I typically require all new clients to do a consultation before a first session. I am not currently accepting couples, children, or families and I do not offer exceptions. Insurance: You must call and verify that I am in-network with your insurance. Insurance often lists me as in-network for plans that I am not actually in-network for. I am not in-network for Kaiser California plans. I am not in-network with Anthem. I am not in-network with Blue cross or BCBS. I am not in network with Medicare. Searching in your insurance app is not reliable. Checking your insurance website is also not reliable. You must call your company and record the date/ time of verification that I am in-network as well as the representative you spoke to. If I am later deemed "out of network" you are responsible for the full cost of session. If you record the information of your phone call confirming I am in-network your insurance company will still deny your claims but this information will help you escalate an appeal.
