Angela Boles

Angela Boles is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina (NC LCMHC 6726) with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people address stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and compassion fatigue.

She works with adults, children, and adolescents, and her most extensive professional experience has been supporting adult women who have at some point faced trauma or inequity. Whether clients bring those specific histories or different concerns, she focuses on examining communication styles, encouraging objective self-review, fostering self-acceptance, building confidence, and teaching practical techniques to improve emotional well-being and relationships with oneself and others.

Creating a safe space for every client is a priority for her, regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, culture, socioeconomic status, gender identification, or other identity factors. She acknowledges that privilege, bias, systemic racism, inequality, and inequity affect how people experience trauma, grief, healing, and coping, and she approaches her work with cultural humility.

In sessions she will address topics of bias and will openly explore how historical and racial trauma influence the therapeutic process, the presenting concern, and the path to recovery. She believes clients are the experts of their own stories and brings a strengths-based perspective to help people move through challenges. Angela recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms the importance of taking that first step.
