Dr. Angela Hedwall received her Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University – Seattle in 2013. Dr. Hedwall is a Licensed Psychologist in the State of Washington.
Dr. Hedwall works with individual young adults through adults. She sees all of her clients via telehealth.
My therapeutic approach is based upon a combination of psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe early childhood experiences inform our choices, moods, and behaviors based upon the meaning we attach to those experiences, our level of awareness of the impact of those experiences upon our lives, and the way unexplored feelings and beliefs can manifest in our mind, emotions, and body. Through exploration of these early childhood experiences, you will increase your awareness and personal agency, empowering you to continue your evolution and creating the best version of your life.
During our work together we will co-create treatment plans so we are working in tandem on a clear and mutually understood set of goals and direction. I will likely want to work with you weekly, at least initially, while we get to know one other and build forward momentum. For your time between sessions, if it seems appropriate and helpful, I may suggest readings or videos that I believe would be helpful for you or provide handouts and worksheets to help you acquire new skills. At times therapy may feel overwhelming or confusing and other times it may seem exciting and maybe even easy. Regardless of where you are on your path, I will meet you where you are, providing support and encouragement to help you reach your goals.
Dr. Hedwall has provided counseling in college, forensic, and community mental health settings. These experiences have afforded her the opportunity to work with diverse client populations and strengthen her tool kit of interventions required for each individual so that they can create their best possible lives.
