Angela Perez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Angela!

I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with grief, loss, trauma, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can openly explore your experiences and find healing.

My focus

My focus is to give witness to your story and help you live the best life you can. I work with individuals dealing with trauma, grief, loss, anxiety, and depression, as well as families impacted by a loved one's substance abuse.

My approach

I'm an eclectic therapist who tailors my approach to your unique needs. I use Trauma-Focused CBT for trauma, CBT for unhelpful thought patterns, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy for relationship challenges. I believe identifying the best course of treatment is a collaborative process between us.

My communication style

My style is calm, personable, and motivating. I provide a safe and welcoming environment where you can openly discuss any issues without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a Latino household, expressing feelings was never encouraged. My first psychology class gave me the freedom to verbalize my feelings, and I wanted to give others that same freedom. Helping others find their voice drives me to continue this work.

My goals for you

I meet clients where they are. Establishing treatment goals is a collaborative process, and goals can evolve throughout treatment. Nothing can be accomplished without establishing a therapeutic relationship first.

Our first session

Expect an open and honest conversation about the therapy process. If you've been in therapy before, I'd like to know what worked and didn't work. If this is your first time, I'd like to explore what brings you to therapy now.
