We were lucky to catch up with Angela Webb recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Angela, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
My optimism comes from helping others and watching our students grow into independent, confident clinicians. There’s something incredibly energizing about seeing someone step into their competence, especially when they didn’t fully believe in themselves at first. I get to witness transformation up close, whether it’s a client finding stability or a trainee developing their voice and clinical judgment.
I’m also someone who is always moving forward. Even when things are difficult, I focus on what can be built, strengthened, or learned. Growth is always possible and I find hope in that process. Optimism, for me, isn’t about ignoring challenges. It’s about believing that with intention and effort, we can create better outcomes.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I am a forensic and clinical psychologist and the founder of Webb Psychological Assessments, McIntyre Psychological Services, and MPS Therapy Group. Across these organizations, we provide comprehensive psychological evaluations, therapy services, and clinical training throughout Missouri and multiple other states via both in-person and telehealth platforms.
Webb Psychological Assessments focuses heavily on forensic and high-level diagnostic work, including competency evaluations, criminal responsibility cases, risk assessments, and complex clinical presentations. Our work often sits at the intersection of mental health and the legal system, where clarity, objectivity, and integrity are critical. We understand that the reports we produce can influence life-changing decisions, and we approach that responsibility with seriousness and precision.
McIntyre Psychological Services and MPS Therapy Group were built to expand access to quality therapy and supervision while also mentoring the next generation of clinicians. One of the most meaningful parts of my professional journey has been creating environments where clinicians can grow into confident, ethical, independent professionals. Watching our students and supervisees develop their voice and clinical judgment is incredibly rewarding.
What feels most exciting right now is our continued expansion. We have recently expanded into Chesterfield and Lake of the Ozarks, allowing us to better serve families, courts, attorneys, and agencies in those communities while continuing to provide telehealth services across state lines. Growth for us is not just about adding locations. It’s about strengthening systems, increasing access to care, and maintaining high standards in every space we enter.
At the core of everything we build is integrity, forward movement, and courage. We are willing to take on complex cases, difficult systems, and high-stakes work. We do it with preparation, resilience, and a deep commitment to ethical practice. Our brand represents excellence without ego, growth without complacency, and a belief that strong clinicians create stronger communities.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, three qualities have been the most impactful in my journey: resilience, clinical integrity, and strategic vision.
First, resilience. Building organizations in the mental health and forensic space is not linear. There are regulatory hurdles, staffing challenges, financial risks, and high-stakes cases that carry real weight. I’ve learned that setbacks are not signals to stop, they’re invitations to adapt. The ability to stay steady under pressure and continue moving forward, even when things feel uncertain, has been foundational.
Second, clinical integrity. Clinical integrity is the alignment between our knowledge, ethics, and actions. It shows up in careful assessment, thoughtful formulation, and responsible decision-making. It means protecting the client, the court, and the profession by ensuring that your work is defensible, well-reasoned, and within your scope. It is the quiet discipline of practicing with competence and conscience.
Third, strategic vision. Early in my career, I focused on mastering my clinical work. As I gained experience, I realized that meaningful impact requires more than skill. It requires structure. Understanding how systems operate, including courts, agencies, referral networks, supervision models, and business operations, allowed me to move from simply managing a caseload to building sustainable programs. Strategic vision is the discipline of looking beyond immediate demands and asking, “What am I building that will still matter years from now?”
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
Yes, I am always open to thoughtful collaboration. The work we do sits at the intersection of mental health, law, education, and community systems, so strong partnerships are essential.
I’m particularly interested in collaborating with attorneys, judges, and court systems who value high-quality, defensible psychological evaluations. I also welcome partnerships with pediatricians, psychiatrists, schools, and nonprofit organizations serving families with complex needs. As we continue expanding into Chesterfield and Lake of the Ozarks, we’re especially interested in building strong referral and service relationships within those communities.
On the clinical side, I enjoy connecting with experienced clinicians who are passionate about forensic work, complex assessment, or high-acuity cases. We are also committed to mentoring and developing strong early-career professionals who want rigorous training and high standards.
Beyond referrals, I am open to collaboration around training events, speaking engagements, policy development, and system-level mental health initiatives. I believe meaningful change happens when professionals move beyond silos and build aligned networks.
If someone reading this feels aligned with our mission of integrity, excellence, and forward movement, I encourage them to connect with us through our website or professional social media platforms. We value relationships that are built on mutual respect, high standards, and a shared commitment to serving individuals and communities well.
