Angela Neufeld, Registered Psychologist
Experience • Skill • Care
Angela is committed to wholistic well-being. The psychological services she provides are centred in improving quality of life on a mental/cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual level in whatever way is meaningful to each person.
Angela values diverse ways of being in the world and her approach to therapy and assessment is to encourage understanding and self-compassion in all with whom she has the honour to support. Angela always considers the intersections of identities (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, etc.) and the environmental and societal influences impacting people’s lives.
Angela works with people who have a wide range of mental health concerns; however, she has particular interest, experience, and training in complex trauma and PTSD, attachment/developmental wounds, eating disorders/disordered eating and body image, Autism Spectrum Disorder, gender identity and gender affirming care, and the inclusion of animals in the therapeutic process.
Angela has over 25 years of experience in the mental health and disability fields providing psychotherapy, psychological assessments, consultation, and clinical supervision, and related services. She also worked in post-secondary mental health services and policy development for 20 years.
In addition to her university training (BA in Psychology & Women’s Studies, MEd in Counselling), she has trained in and draws from various psychotherapies including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness Based Therapy, Meditation, and Equine Facilitated Therapy/Animal Assisted Therapy.
