ANGIE TSIATSOS PHILLIPS, MA, LPC, NCC, ACS, CMT Most of my life has been dedicated to exploring how relationships embolden, enliven, exhaust, and enlighten our experience of life. My personal and professional focus is teaching others how we can inhabit our bodies in ways that express our inner worlds effectively and authentically. When we learn to embody congruence in this way, we honor our unique expression of love and cultivate the capacity to connect more fully with others. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor and Somatic Psychotherapist with a passion for helping my clients cultivate the relationships that we all innately desire. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. As a Somatic Practitioner, Dance Instructor, Massage Therapist and Personal Trainer, I've had more than two decades of experience in grounding my therapeutic approach in the body and support my clients in tapping into their own unique and innate wisdom. I help clients identify internal "signals" that habitually get them off track, short-circuit ineffective relational habits, and strengthen internal states that are crucial for developing thriving intimate relationships. Just as it takes structure, consistent practice with intensity, focus, awareness, and often, coaching or support to change our physical bodies, it takes a similar practice to retrain and strengthen our nervous systems. Hence “Strength Training for the Heart.” I was previously the Clinical Director of the Center for Relational and Family Wellness at Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute where I was instrumental in developing the center, facilitating quarterly relationship classes, providing trainings for mental health professionals, and working as an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I am an instructor and speaker, and provide advanced trainings for mental health professionals. I have the highest training in The PEX (Pragmatic/Experiential) Method of Improving Relationships, am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Gottman Couples Therapy, among many other models. I am dedicated to supporting people in their exploration and embodiment of masculine and feminine polarities and helping deepen the transformative practices of intimacy and sexuality from a sex positive framework. I also offer support for new mothers and fathers throughout pregnancy, birth, and the transformative practice of parenting. I offer guidance and structure to support parents in co-parenting relationships as well as parents navigating the delicate territory of blending families Life has a tendency to bring us to our knees, and when we are able to yield to its messages, listen to a deeper wisdom, and rebuild from the broken places, we cultivate the capacity for becoming the most authentic and whole versions of ourselves. My own brokenness became the foundation for my personal motivation to change deep, neural patterning in my relational life. And feeling those shifts at a “cellular level” inspired my growing passion to understand and serve the relational needs of others — to learn and teach the emotional habits that are necessary for authentic, trusting, fulfilling relationships. I look forward to supporting you in strengthening your heart for Love.
