Angie Dickey, a dedicated counselor with an MA, LCMHCA, and NCC, draws upon her personal and professional experiences to support families dealing with developmental trauma. She resonates with the profound words of Dr. Russell Barkley: 'The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways.' As a mother of five with over 11 years of experience addressing adoption issues, Angie understands the complexities that children face due to inconsistent early caregiving, difficult pregnancies, and other challenging circumstances. She believes these children, who often act out to test their caregivers' resolve, desperately require love and security. Angie specializes in educating parents about the motivations behind their children's behaviors while equipping them with actionable tools to connect with their kids. Having navigated similar challenges herself, she is committed to fostering healing and hope within families. Angie echoes the sentiment of Karyn Purvis, co-creator of TBRI®: every child has the potential for deep healing. With such inspiration guiding her, she is ready to partner with parents on this transformative journey.
