Hi! I'm Angelica Tolis, a licensed clinical social worker since 2022. I have been in the field of mental health and social work since 2014. My approach with therapy is to build a safe space and comfortable environment to express yourself, identify your needs, and put yourself first.
My approach
My therapeutic framework is guided by trauma-informed care, CBT, solution-focused reality therapy, harm reduction, and much more.
My focus
I've worked with various populations, from adults experiencing homelessness, transitional-aged youth, young adults, the elderly, and individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, and substance abuse.
My communication style
I acknowledge the challenges that comes along with opening up about life experiences that may bring difficult emotions. My focus will be to provide a safe environment and work alongside the client on building trust through compassion and non-judgmental space.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became interested in therapy while growing up in South LA in a predominantly Hispanic community where mental health "did not exist"; where it was not okay to talk about depression, anxiety, and mental health. Knowing there was an issue and lack of mental health resources motivated me to pursue my study in the field of mental health and social work.
My goals for you
My approach with therapy is to provide a safe space and comfortable environment to express yourself, identify your needs, and put yourself first. Together we can find what works for you in your healing journey.
My first session with you
During our first session, we can discuss what brings you in today, what your goals are, what has worked for you in the past, and if you believe we are a good fit to work together.
