Angélica Figueroa

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I am Angélica Figueroa, pronouns ella/she/her. I am a bilingual Mexican/Latina therapist who supports BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities in processing the impact of systemic oppression, ongoing racism, and trauma on identity, mental health, family relationships, attachment, parenting, the perinatal and postpartum periods, and authenticity. I am dedicated to a client-centered, affirming, inclusive, collaborative, whole-person, and compassionate approach to therapy. I integrate EMDR into CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Emphasis is placed on collaboration, cultural humility, and addressing the effects of trauma on your mental health. I believe in providing affirming therapy, that is inclusive, respectful and affirming of all sexual and gender identities, neurodiversity, race, ethnicities, spirituality, and disabilities. I specialize in working with BIPOC, neurodiverse, and LGBTQIA+ adults who identify as immigrants and first-generation. I focus on complex trauma, generational trauma, oppression trauma, cultural stress, grief and loss, PTSD,/C-PTSD, perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, neurodiversity affirming, and family conflict. I provide EMDR therapy from an attachment, AIP and polyvagal informed lens and integrate EMDR Therapy into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) amongst other evidenced based practices.
