Welcome to Healing Our Past Energy (H.O.P.E.) Professional Counseling, LLC. Hello, I’m Angela McClellan, an Ohio independently licensed clinical counselor. I have a passion for helping individuals heal from their past using a more holistic approach through Counseling. The inspiration for starting my own practice emerged from my experiences working in several different services industries and seeing firsthand the profound impact of a supportive therapeutic environment. The drive to create a space where healing could truly flourish became more clear when creating my own practice.
My own healing journey has been both challenging and transformative throughout my life. These experiences have fueled my commitment to be my authentic self, down to earth, understanding and showing compassion meeting you where you are in your stage of healing. I Obtained my Master's degree and the ongoing professional training in counseling modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other healing modalities, I have witnessed the profound impact of these therapies, not just in my professional work but also in my personal healing journey.
Most of my career I dedicated over 20 years supporting the Toledo community. I have worked with women, young adults, and teens, and families with many life circumstances. This experience has been invaluable and has helped me to be a diverse professional. I pursued a master’s degree while managing the demands of single parenthood, graduating with honors despite numerous personal obstacles and challenges. I felt compelled to become a resource in order to increase my influence in the community where I was raised and currently work.
In the summer of 2023, with the support of my daughter, Hope—who inspired the name of my practice—I embarked on the journey of establishing my own counseling business. Though the path has been challenging, and demanding. I have a vision of creating a healing center where individuals can find the support they need. With a small but growing practice, I am continuously learning and adapting to best serve my clients.
Thank you for considering us as a part of your journey to healing.
