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.

Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
I know that starting therapy is a huge step in your life, and choosing a therapist is an important, and often tough, decision. This can be a daunting process, and I hope to put you at ease. A therapist-patient relationship is a very unique and special one, and you are trusting me with information about your personal life, thoughts, and feelings. I take that very seriously. It can take time to build that sense of trust. My top priority is that we take the time to make a genuine connection so that you feel safe, respected, understood, and supported in your sessions with me. I believe that is the foundation of truly good therapy and is necessary for growth, change, and progress. I have been in practice as a psychologist for many years, and I have gained a lot of experience and expertise treating many types of physical and mental health problems. I’m really proud of that, but my proudest, most treasured moments have been when my patients express feeling truly understood and cared about during our work together, and when we can celebrate their successes together. I’m confident that my empathy and passion for being a psychologist and helping people through their most difficult life circumstances will come across to you, too. Whatever you are going through, I’m with you, and you can feel assured that you are in good hands.
