Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Dr. Angelia Corley
Psychologist, PhD
I’m Dr. Angelia Corley, a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to helping people who are struggling with sleep problems, anxiety, and the challenges of chronic health conditions. When worry keeps you up at night or your body feels like it’s working against you, life can quickly become overwhelming. I work with clients to find effective, practical strategies that reduce that sense of struggle and help them feel more rested, grounded, and able to focus on what’s meaningful in their lives.
My approach draws on evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices. These methods can help you notice unhelpful patterns, understand yourself in new ways, and make choices that better support your well-being.
Clients often describe me as warm, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I want therapy to be a place where you feel understood and empowered to make lasting change.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. To make it easier, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call so you can get a sense of what working together might feel like. Visit https://restwelltherapy.sessionshealth.com/ and select "I'm a new client" to schedule a time for us to talk.

Elka Cubacub
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi there, and congratulations on taking the first step toward reaching out for help. Finding the right therapist can be hard, but I’ve learned it often comes down to two things: personality and treatment approach. I'll describe what these are for me in an effort to help clarify whether I might be the therapist for you. By nature, I’m calm, compassionate, and intellectually-driven. I like to understand what we do and why, and bring this intentionality to my work as a therapist. I’ve worked across higher levels of care with people navigating eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I feel humbled by the stories that are shared with me and promise not to judge. In my experience, talking alone isn’t always enough, so I use evidence-based, embodied approaches that help you access what’s beneath the surface and shift what keeps you stuck. My goal is to help you reconnect with the full range of human emotions so you can feel more fully alive and move toward what’s meaningful to you.

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With degrees in neuroscience and clinical health psychology, I am passionate about and highly familiar with the links between our brains, our bodies, and our mental and emotional experiences, and I feel deeply privileged to have a career in which I get to share this important knowledge and helping others feel less alone in their journeys. I help individuals and couples with relationship problems like conflict, betrayal, loneliness, and estrangement, as well as the difficult feelings these problems bring. I also specialize in stress and trauma and am passionate about helping people make sense of highly stressful life events. I also love physical activity and strongly believe our mental health is holistic, and we take care of our minds and hearts by taking care of our bodies.
Above all else, my mission is to show up for you as a fellow human who cares about your story and is truly paying attention. Combined with a decade of clinical expertise, I prioritize warmth, authenticity, humor, and kindness. I won’t just sit there and nod. With me, you can expect individual therapy and marital therapy that is quality, research-backed, and tailored to your needs. I strive to be the kind of therapist that I always wanted as a client: someone willing to dive deep and offer enthusiasm and encouragement along the way. You deserve nothing less. see myself as a collaborator, a fellow human who gets what it’s like to struggle and can offer feedback, celebrate your strengths, and help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others. I also value your input and feedback throughout therapy so I can make sure I deliver what you are needing.
