Angelina Kone Psychotherapy, LCSW

Providing support to people has always been my first career choice. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience working as a social service provider. I have worked with clients and families in a wide range of circumstances, including foster care placement, substance abuse challenges, survivors of domestic violence, formerly incarcerated young adults, and homelessness. I have met a number of individuals who I have been able to support while they experienced strong feelings and challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, career, OCD, and many other areas. I also supported many individuals and families who have experienced different forms of trauma. As an individual who has survived a number of adversities, I feel that my strength and understanding allow for greater compassion to my practice and the services that I am able to provide.

I like working with adult clients who are simply seeking support healing. It brings me much joy when I see a person able to self-reflect and make healthy decisions even if they are not completely confident in those decisions. I generally like to get to know my clients the day of and during the progression of therapy; I provide small fun journaling exercises to be completed between sessions for this reason.

Outside of my private practice, I am a therapist for one of the largest behavioral health providers in New York City where I support the treatment of clients. On an ongoing basis, I am involved in treatment team meetings for complex cases, I attend training with clinical staff on new evidence-based practices, and I receive clinical guidance and supervision. I also engage in continuing educational courses a few times a year.
