Hello, I'm Anllely/ "Angely"! I am a dedicated and experienced licensed therapist in the state of CA (LCSW) committed to guiding individuals through their healing journeys. With a passion for mental health and well-being, I provide a safe and empathetic space for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is integrative and tailored to meet each person's unique needs, combining evidence-based practices with a compassionate understanding of individual challenges. I have worked in social services for the past 10 years which include my work as a domestic violence and sexual assault shelter advocate and a therapist at a non-profit and directly operated government clinic. My past work also includes developing and facilitating groups that focus on Inner Child Work to help client's gain a better sense of self. As a mother myself, I find that Inner Child Work is very much needed to break generational traumas and healing past emotional wounds.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be both exciting and a bit daunting. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I bring a variety of strengths to the therapeutic relationship. However, my greatest strength is my ability to create a deeply empathetic and non-judgmental space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and valued. I am also receptive to feedback from my clients and I encourage clients to verbalize their concerns through the use of effective communication.

My treatment methods

Narrative

I used narrative therapy in many of my sessions as helps us foster a therapuetic bond. Narrative therapy allows clients to separate themselves from their problems, viewing the issue as something that exists outside of them. It also encourages clients to rewrite their personal narratives in a way that highlights their strengths and positive aspects. All while breaking down dominant narratives to understand their influence and finding alternative perspectives.

Humanistic

By using a humanistic therapeutic approach, I am able to guide client's through their own capacity for self-direction. This approach focuses on a holistic view of the person and emphasis personal experiences which are unique to the client. While utilizing this therapeutic, we acknowledge past experiences while focusing on the HERE and NOW. This encourages clients to live fully in the present and make conscious choices that align with their true selves
