PRIORITIZING IN-PERSON CLIENTS CURRENTLY
Hi there! My name is Kesy (pronounced like Casey) and I look forward to collaborating with you about your therapy goals and how to support your journey in learning more about yourself. I believe that everyone deserves therapy!
My name is Angelica Cano I am a licensed mental health therapist, LCSW, with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. My goal with each of my clients is to create a welcoming environment where they can begin their own healing journey. I believe each person can create positive changes for themselves through education, community, support and encouragement. As a first-generation Mexican American college graduate, I am passionate about helping the Latin-o/a/x community across every challenge life brings.
I work with adults navigating trauma, burnout, identity, and the particular exhaustion of being a sensitive person in a fast-changing world. My work goes beyond talk therapy to build a flexible nervous system, helping to regulate it, reduce symptoms of trauma, and build resilience.
Many of the people I work with are doing everything right on paper. They are the ones who keep showing up, holding it together, being the person everyone else leans on. And they are exhausted in a way that is hard to explain to the people around them. They worry they are making the wrong choices or that everyone else has it together.
Growing up in California, Colorado and Tennessee concocted a Midwestern warmth with an open-mindedness and appreciation of our differences. These experiences gave me a curiosity for how humans develop in their environments and with their unique histories, leading me to pursue psychology.
I studied Political Science at Vanderbilt University before a seven year tenure in the corporate world. I am grateful for this experience as it has added depth and perspective to my work with clients. In 2014 I began my counseling psychology degree at The Wright Institute in Berkeley and then completed my training in San Francisco. My training journey encompassed internships at community mental health clinics, elementary and high schools, group therapy practices, and social service sites where I received intensive supervision in a variety of modalities. I regularly attend trainings and consult with colleagues to hone my craft and provide the best possible care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Downey, CA
Searching for therapists in Downey starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they work, what sessions may focus on, and whether their style feels like a good fit.
In a smaller city like Downey, nearby in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in California. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical details like session format.
Therapy in Downey can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
