Angela Avery: The Therapist Who Tells You the Truth

You’ve probably been wondering if therapy will actually help, or if it’ll be another hour of nodding and “How does that make you feel?” You want someone who gets it, who won’t judge you, and who will say what needs to be said.

I get it. I’m Angela Avery, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). For over 15 years, I’ve helped nearly 1,000 clients find peace, clarity, and healing after heartbreak, toxic relationships, and marriage struggles. I see clients in person in Clarkston, Michigan, and by telehealth in Michigan and Florida.

Here’s what you should know about me before we start.

I’ll Be Warm, But I Won’t Sugarcoat It

I’d love to be your best friend, but what you need is a therapist: someone who’s supportive and validating, and also honest. I tell it like it is, warmly. And yes, I’ll probably swear. Sometimes it’s the best way to say what needs saying.

I’ve Lived This

You’re not sitting across from someone who learned it all from a textbook. I’ve been through divorce, widowhood, blended families, and co-parenting struggles. I know how to navigate difficult relationships, set boundaries, and rebuild self-respect because I’ve done it myself.

My Specialty Is Helping You Take Your Power Back

I specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery and post-separation abuse, and I’ll help you build the resilience to move forward. If you’re working on your marriage instead, I guide couples to rebuild through better communication, real behavior changes, and emotional healing.

My Training and Background

• Nationally Board Certified (NCC), with regularly updated continuing education

• Master’s degree from Oakland University

• Bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University (Go Green!)

• Educator for family law attorneys and therapists on high-conflict relationships and narcissistic abuse
