“I want to recommend Angela to anyone looking for a supportive, insightful therapist. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but Angela immediately put me at ease by meeting me right where I was at. Throughout our work together, she consistently held space for me and remained fully present, creating a genuinely safe and welcoming environment. It is because of this that I felt comfortable letting my guard down and being vulnerable.
Angela helped me make real progress. She validated my feelings and experiences while helping me reframe my thinking in kind and compassionate ways. I loved how Angela was able to balance her professionalism with levity and even when we were working through tough moments, she made the space feel human and approachable.
I hope that your experience working with Angela is just as impactful as mine was. ”

Getting to know Angela Lopez
I specialize in using Art Therapy and I adapt my integrative approach based on client needs, often drawing on Adlerian principles, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Parts work. I work to empower clients struggling with complex trauma, burnout, and mood and anxiety disorders to build resilience, and find supportive value aligned coping strategies that improve their sense of self-worth and meaning in their lives. I use cultural humility and consider the sociocultural and economic structures that factor into your struggles.
As a registered art therapist, I am able to focus our work around traditional talk therapy and/or art therapy. Art therapy offers an alternative path to discovering new ways in which to understand, express, and process your emotions and experiences. No art skills are required!
Art therapy can be helpful when words fail, activating a different part of the brain, which can lead to new insights and reflections.
What should a new client know about working with you?
We all have unique experiences that can make us feel isolated, misunderstood and alone. Searching for a therapist can make these feelings even louder, whether this is your first time in therapy, or you come with a long history of mental health struggles (including hospitalization or inpatient care). I am ready to hear your story, without judgement, and in support of your unique path.
It warms my heart that clients often tell me they are put at ease with me or that I have a grounding presence. Ive been told that I make them feel like they can be their authentic self and that they feel heard and understood.
As a registered art therapist, I am able to focus our work around traditional talk therapy and/or art therapy. I always tell patients that they decide what a session looks like. Some days we may make art quietly together and verbally process towards the end. Other days may be more verbal processing than artmaking, and sometimes it can be both simultaneously. Sometimes we even listen to music.
As my client, I will work to empower you and instill hope, while giving you skills to build resilience in pursuing what really matters to you.
