Angela Riesterer, MA, LMHC

Welcome to my Practice

It is important for me to convey that while I am a psychotherapist, I am first a fellow human being sojourning through this world trying to overcome hurts and hangups like the rest of us. I come to this profession having experienced profound pain, grief and loss-as well as knowing intrinsically what it looks and feels like to heal, grow and emerge free from difficult  circumstances. I am a passionate believer that people can go on to live lives of meaning, purpose and joy even after experiencing devastating trauma and pain. It takes hard work but it can be done. I work from the lens that while being a human can be brutal, it can also be a breathtakingly beautiful journey of self discovery, wonder, adventure and growth. The work that I do is birthed from a deep understanding and appreciation for peoples pain and unique struggles as well as a sincere desire to assist in the process of healing and restoration.
