(she/her)
Hi! I'm Angelica Sabiano (she/her), a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) since 2022 based in California. I received my Masters from CSU Bakersfield. I have been in the field of mental health and social work since 2014. My approach with therapy is to build a safe space and comfortable environment to express yourself, identify your needs, and put yourself first.
During our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, we can discuss what brings you in today, what your goals are with therapy, any challenges or barriers you are facing, what has worked for you in the past, and if you believe we are a good fit to work together. Together we can find what works for you in your healing journey.
I provide a safe space and comfortable environment to express yourself, identify your needs, and put yourself first, all within a non-judgmental environment.
I love working with adults and young adults who are needing support addressing their anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma.
