Angela Zhang
I'm an LPCC credentialed in California, holding an MA in Counseling from LMU. With 5 years of clinical experience, I help clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to manage life's stressors. I believe in a strong therapeutic alliance, often using humor to reframe and process clinical challenges.

I understand that therapeutic progress can be slow-paced, and significant change unfolds over time. My priority is to foster a secure and trusting relationship in sessions, creating a space where clients feel safe enough to engage in a truly transformative experience.
First session
During our initial sessions, we'll start with introductions, review important policies, and conduct a thorough assessment of the specific challenges you're experiencing. Together, we'll then collaboratively develop a plan to guide our work moving forward.
Strengths
My therapeutic approach is non-judgmental and non-directive, focused on helping clients cultivate self-esteem and empowering them to develop the skills and insights needed to resolve issues with greater autonomy and psychological freedom.
Ideal clients
My passion lies in supporting young adults as they navigate the complexities of relationships and significant life transitions. I work with clients who are committed to finding hope, overcoming challenges, and cultivating more emotional ease in their lives. A key part of our work often involves identifying the underlying mental and emotional triggers and dilemmas that contribute to their struggles. *Appointments scheduled on a weekly recurring basis; I do not offer bi-weekly or monthly scheduling. *Please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance to avoid late-cancellation fees. *2 consecutive cancellations will result in the release of your recurring time slot, and future availability cannot be guaranteed.
