Angela Allen

She/Her/Hers

The world is full of hardships and inequities. Angela believes that mental and emotional health challenges are normal responses to harms that we, our ancestors, or our communities have faced. She also believes that healing takes a village and cannot happen in isolation. As a Queer, BIPOC, Relationship Anarchist, Angela approaches therapy through a lens of social justice and liberation. Her particular passions include working with people who identify as A-sexual/A-romantic, adult survivors of childhood bullying, activists navigating burnout, people from marginalized backgrounds, people who've experienced childhood trauma/abuse, and people living with PTSD/C-PTSD, ancestral trauma, anxiety, and climate grief.

Angela has training in Somatics and integrates Somatic EMDR and Somatic Experiencing techniques into her practice. Additionally, she has a deep love for the arts and has seen the ways that artistic expression can tap into parts of ourselves that words alone cannot. She therefore utilizes expressive arts modalities and beginning in June will be undergoing a certification in Expressive Arts Therapy. She believes in the power of nature to help us heal, as well as bringing in humor and joy into sessions. her goal is to help you see that you have the answers already within you to heal--I am merely a guide in this process of supporting you on your journey to leading a more joyful life with a deeper, more embodied connection to yourself and your community.

Angela is working under the supervision of Amber Schneider and Julie Koch and working towards her clinical LICSW licensure.
