Angela Farrar Small

I have over two decades of experience as a clinical social worker with individuals and families impacted by chronic illness, terminal illness, grief from loss of family members and the grief of losing the life they once had. I often worked as a member of a team of medical professionals helping patients and families through catastrophic illness. In my private practice as a therapist, I have supported clients through a variety of life changes and losses, such as miscarriage, divorce, loss of career and work identity, and role changes in the family. Witnessing my parents’ divorce (which was less than ideal) when I was young informs my understanding of what works and does not work for children as families reconfigure. When I learned about collaborative divorce coaching, I was excited by the opportunity to use my years of experience as a clinical social worker, therapist, and team member in another way, in vitally important work with families.
