Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Hey There
Hi, I'm Angel McNeill, a LMHC based in Winter Park, Florida. I offer individual therapy for adults who are tired of feeling like an army of one, who feel pressured to always keep it together. Using a framework informed by EMDR, Attachment Styles, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, I help my clients explore the root causes that lead to unmanageable anxiety, perfectionism, and attachment issues.
My work focuses on the intersection of anxiety, perfectionism, and attachment issues. Because perfectionism often isn’t simply about having high standards. It can become a way of creating safety: If I do everything right, don’t disappoint anyone, and keep everything under control, maybe I’ll be okay.
When you work with me, we’ll get curious about these patterns with compassion rather than judgment so we can help you understand not only what keeps you stuck, but why these patterns made sense in the first place. My approach is collaborative, mindful, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely understood. Therapy is a space where you can be honest, curious, and fully yourself.
I integrate evidence-based therapy with attachment theory, trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and self-compassion to help you build a more secure relationship with yourself. I believe therapy is about more than managing symptoms. Therapy can help you to create lasting change. When we work together, my goal is to help you quiet the inner critic and develop a deeper sense of self-trust. Together, we can help you find your way to a life that's grounded, authentic, and fulfilling, a life where your worth is no longer measured by what you accomplish.
I might be the right therapist for you if...
You're ready to go deeper.
Sometimes, awareness of the problem isn't enough. Our work together is about going within and really getting to know all parts of you and learning to truly embrace who you are without shame and judgement
You're highly motivated and ready for change.
Often the most significant changes we experience come from deciding, "That's it, I'm tired of living this way." and taking that first big step in seeking support. Client's who bring this energy to our work together usually experience the biggest impact in their day to day lives
You've tried conventional therapy before but something was missing.
Maybe previous therapy felt like meeting with an old friend for coffee rather than actual therapy. Maybe your previous therapy seemed to stay surface level. Working with me means sometimes going within to unexplored areas of the self, challenging who you thought you were and navigating difficult emotions along the way--ultimately to come out the other side with real relief.
You're interested in inner child work.
Much of my focus will be on connecting with various parts of you that have gone unnoticed and quietly disrupt your life from the background. Uncovering these parts, bringing them to light, and most importantly, connecting with them can lead to lasting change.
You want someone to hold your hand and hold you accountable.
I believe in all of my clients capacity to create change in their lives. My goal is always to create a space where you have room to gently explore what you're afraid to while being ready to help point out where you might be selling yourself short. I might push you within your comfort zone but I will never leave you to flounder on your own.
You enjoy someone with a sense of humor.
As much as I believe in getting right to the heart of the matter and diving deep, I think it's incredibly important to bring levity to things. Life is difficult enough and sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.
