About
Angela Kalsbeek brings a warm, strengths-focused approach to work with children, young people, parents, and families. She describes her counseling style as meeting each person where they are, emphasizing compassion, connection, and kindness. As an eclectic clinician, Angela blends structured strategies with creative methods to match the needs of the child or family in front of her.
She uses art and play therapy tools such as sand tray work and therapeutic play to help young people express experiences that may be hard to say in words. Angela pairs those creative approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, and psychoeducation to help children learn how their bodies and brains respond to emotions and stress. Outside of sessions she enjoys walking her dog Ruby, gardening, seasonal DIY projects, listening to music, and attending concerts with family.

Remote care with creative and cognitive tools
Angela offers remote sessions that combine creative modalities and structured strategies to meet children and families where they are. Art and play-based methods, including sand tray and therapeutic play, provide nonverbal ways for young people to explore emotions and life events. These approaches can help a child communicate through drawing, play, or symbolic scenes rather than relying solely on words. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to teach skills for recognizing and managing physical and emotional responses. In practice this may involve simple grounding or breathing activities, age-appropriate psychoeducation about how the body reacts to stress, and stepwise practice of new ways of thinking and coping. Remote work is available by video, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. Angela approaches remote sessions collaboratively, tailoring methods to each child and family and combining creative tools with skill-building so that families can practice strategies between sessions.How long has Angela been practicing?
