Angela Perez-Bell, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Angela!

I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and career issues. Together we will identify your negative beliefs, unpack the events around these beliefs and heal from them. This allows you to show up as a more resilient version of yourself.

My focus

I work with adults navigating negative patterns that may be showing up. Guiding clients in their EMDR journey allows vulnerability to lead to repairing oneself. We cultivate a new life of mindfulness, slowing down, and building out tools as daily habits to help bring peace, especially when things get tough.

My approach

I utilize EMDR, inner child work, parts work, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy from a Psychodynamic modality with a Christian faith-based foundation, if desired. I come alongside you in your journey, helping you identify what issues may have you stuck and challenging you to explore your past, present, or future fears.

My communication style

I prioritize clear and open communication to create a supportive environment. I am an empathic therapist who will actively listen to you as you reflect on your journey in life. There will be times when I will cheer you on and challenge you to accomplish the goals we have in place.

My journey to mental healthcare

I went to an EMDR therapist for my own self-work around relationship issues and childhood trauma. I was blessed to retrain my brain to believe in various positive beliefs. I came out of EMDR therapy with a transformational experience, which inspired me to get EMDR trained.

My goals for you

I am a caring, compassionate and supportive therapist who will remind you to extend the same grace to yourself as you do to others, knowing you are worth it. We will cultivate positive self-talk, help to enhance activities that build up your self-confidence and empower your true self.

Our first session

The first session will consist of us getting to know each other. You will be able to dive deeper into what is bringing you into therapy, the history of your life, and how you care for your body and mind. We will journey together to find a pace that benefits the goals you want to achieve.
