Angelika Barris
@angelikabarris
I facilitate trauma-informed therapy and behavioral support for children, adolescents, and adults.
What I'm looking for
I've facilitated group therapy for children, adolescents, and adults at NJ Psychiatric Center ICCPC in PHP and IOP settings, using DBT, CBT, mindfulness, art, and music-based techniques.
I create structured, trauma-informed environments that support emotional regulation, social skills, and healthy coping mechanisms. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on individualized treatment plans.
Previously, I delivered individualized ABA therapy at Rainbow ABA for children with autism and developmental disorders, implementing behavior intervention plans and documenting behavioral data. At RWJ Barnabas Health, I supported youth ages 5–18 in a PHP setting using therapeutic interventions and coping tools for trauma, behavioral challenges, and mental health symptoms.
My MA in Childhood Studies builds on my psychology background and strengthens my commitment to youth-focused mental health and developmental programs.
