Counseling for:

Toxic Relationships, Marriage, Divorce, Narcissistic Abuse, Starting Over, Anxiety and Depression

Welcome to The Counseling Studio.

I started The Counseling Studio to help women find empowerment and couples reconnect.

I specialize in healing the trauma of a challenging, toxic partnership - whether it’s narcissistic abuse, high-conflict divorce, or marriage disconnection and all the accompanying feelings like anxiety and depression.

During times like these, you need an experienced therapist who understands the skills you will need to feel empowered.

I deliver relationship therapy with a blend of straightforward guidance, warmth, and unwavering commitment to your growth.

No sugarcoating—just real conversations, meaningful progress, and genuine breakthroughs.

Whether you’re in the midst of heartbreak, divorce, or are rebuilding your marriage, I have been there, and I know the way forward.

Why work with me?

For over a decade, I have guided women and couples using wisdom, strength and clinical knowledge to empower and reimagine healthier relationships.

I have been divorced, remarried, widowed, and in a partnership again, so I know how to start over.

Women come in to the studio to break free from toxic relationship patterns - whether it is picking the wrong guy, staying too long in disrespectful situations, or accepting less than they deserve.

Together, we craft self-esteem, set boundaries and learn productive communication skills.

Couples come in to the studio to heal from infidelity, learn how to improve conflict or to repair a disconnected marriage.

Likely, you’ve felt like roommates, and don’t know how to start loving each other again. While divorce is always an option, you’d prefer to stay married and work hard to understand each other and reconnect intimately.

Together, we re-sculpt a better, stronger version of your relationship. One that is reciprocal, loving, respectful and trustworthy. You had that, and want it again.

Co-parenting in a toxic pattern is emotionally draining so that you struggle being present for your child.

The Counseling Studio and Angela Avery, LPC, NCC can help you navigate family court, co-parenting and rebuilding a life so that you can feel empowered to handle any situation.
