Angela Schmitt, M.A., Owner
Angela has more than 24 years of experience in diverse therapeutic settings, including dolphin-assisted therapy, equine-assisted therapy, wilderness experience, traditional counseling, and therapy in youth sober living and at-risk youth camps.

Angela is certified in Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy and holds an MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology as well as additional degrees in human development and early childhood development.
