Angela Abbott, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Angela! My name is Angela Abbott, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT137314). My approach to therapy is collaborative, which means that I work with you to address the challenges that are getting in the way of you living the life you want. Together, we will explore the roots of your problems and develop strategies for change. My approach My therapeutic approach is primarily integrative, meaning I draw from various theoretical frameworks like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered therapy, and elements of psychodynamic theory to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and situation, prioritizing a collaborative and client-centered process to foster positive change. My focus I specialize in addiction recovery and post-hospitalization crisis recovery. I am comfortable working with adults 18 and over. I work with couples who are struggling with addiction issues. My communication style I engage in "real" talk. I create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. I actively listen and provide guidance and support. My journey to mental healthcare I found myself at a crossroads 20 years ago. I needed to make some significant life changes if I was going to survive. I started by taking classes to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Then, someone suggested I return to school and get a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. I was able to learn while working in the field, and I was able to stay working in addiction and crisis response. My goals for you Each person sets their goals for therapy. Together we break those goals into smaller, achievable steps. Then work together to make forward progress. My first session with you In our initial session, I will conduct a full assessment to get to know you and your goals. Together, we will identify the primary goal of therapy.
