Biography

My name is Angela McDowell. I have been providing services since 1991, specializing in substance abuse treatment. I also offer mental health counseling and provide Christian counseling when requested. My counseling approach is client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy. I offer individual, couple, and family therapy, seeing children (over age 5), adolescents, and adults. Growth and change are continual processes, involving work outside of therapy. At times, "homework assignments" are given.

My credentials include: Master of Science degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a Substance Abuse specialization from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor. I continue my professional growth through attendance at trainings/workshops and by self-study (reading related materials).

 

Professional Memberships include:

American Counseling Association
Illinois Counseling Association
Lewis & Clark Chapter of the Illinois Counseling Association
River Bend Growth Association

II Corinthians 1:3-5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Hebrews 10:25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
