Healing yourself, heals others.
Welcome! If you’ve found yourself here, you are either continuing your inner work or ready to start the journey, either way I could not be more excited for you.
My name is Angelica Newsome (She/Her/Hers) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and board approved supervisor for the state of Maryland (LCSW-C). I received my Bachelors of Arts in Health Administration and Policy from University of Maryland Baltimore County. Afterwards, I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore, School of Social Work, with both a focus on Macro and Clinical work, as well as a specialization in Health.
I have spent over 10 years serving as a health advocate, medical social worker, and clinical therapist. My time has been focused on adults suffering with depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions and chronic pain. In addition, I have spent time working with couples/families through various life transitions and stressors impacting their relationship. I use a trauma-informed approach and I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I have training in several therapeutic models including acceptance and commitment therapy, solution focused therapy, attachment-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also have a particular interest in holistic practices that can enhance healing, such as use of crystals, reiki, massage, nutrition, and meditation. When I am not doing clinical work I serve as a board member for a local health advocacy group, continuing the important work of health policy for all Marylanders.
My Approach
Both on a personal and professional level, I believe individuals are capable of change. That belief is what propelled me to explore how I could support others in healing both self and relationships with others. I have a passion for health; honoring the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit which is a key to our optimal functioning as people. Guiding and supporting clients during their most vulnerable moments is work that is vital and allows me to give back to my community. Providing you with a safe place to reflect and process with the goal of forward movement in mind, thus improving the health of our collective community. Life is to be experienced fully and I trust you as the expert in yourself. We have nothing but time, so it is never too late to start your journey towards whatever your goal may be.
