Angela T. Horton,
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervision Designation
Empowering individuals, couples and families to thrive in their life is not just my profession, it's my calling. My approach centers on fostering genuine connections by prioritizing empathy, transparency and respect. I specialize in supporting survivors of the devastating effects of trauma, aiding those battling depression, anxiety, childhood neglect, and the enduring impact of emotional and sexual abuse. I am equally passionate about nurturing strong, resilient, and mutually-supportive relationships by guiding couples through life’s challenges. Helping to arm them with practical and tangible tools with the hope of helping them to have a more fulfilling, joyful and satisfying partnership.
As the visionary behind Speak Life Christian Counseling and Coaching, LLC, our mission: God Inspired Change, is all about fostering hope, encouragement, and the resilience needed to Begin to Live Again! Graduating with distinction from Ashland Theological Seminary, I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MACMHC). My post-graduate credentials include the titles of Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervision Designation (LPCC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC), and Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA). Additionally, I am associated with esteemed organizations such as, the American Counseling Association (ACA), American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and Chi Sigma Iota (CSI) Counseling Academic & Professional Honor Society International.
My clinical journey includes navigating various mental health landscapes, from providing inpatient and intensive outpatient therapy at a mental health hospital where I conducting individual counseling, facilitated psychotherapy and psychoeducation groups for patients and their families, to establishing and managing a private Christian counseling and mental health practice. I am committed to supporting individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges such as, severe mood and anxiety disorders, stress-related conditions like acute stress and post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), substance use disorders, complexed trauma, relationship challenges, and personality disorders.
I work with adults, adolescents, couples and families in helping them with navigating the complexities of mental health and fostering healthy relationships in today’s fast-paced, interconnected, yet paradoxically, disconnected world. My services included providing comprehensive mental health psychoeducation, conducting clinical assessments, providing guidance identifying tools and healthy coping mechanisms to reduce clinical symptoms and improve overall spiritual, relational, and mental well-being.
Additionally, I served as a clinical supervisor to my team. I find fulfillment in guiding and mentoring emerging counselors. Helping to nurture their professional and spiritual growth and development. I provide an emphasize on ethical considerations, advocate for best clinical practices, model and support healthy spiritual disciplines, and good self-care in this dynamic and ever-evolving field of mental health counseling.
In addition to my counseling roles, I have over two decades of experience in Christian church leadership. I have delivered impactful talks as a keynote speaker, facilitated workshops at various women's conferences, served as a ministry leader where I trained upcoming new leaders, facilitated women's Bible studies where I developed and taught curriculum, mentored diverse groups, provided guidance, support and mentorship to single parents.
