Hi, I’m Angela Phillips, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Lotus Healing and Wellness. I help teens and adults navigate trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions through trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming therapy, with a special commitment to supporting women and the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live as their truest, most authentic self. I also believe we all have the capacity to transform our lives, though sometimes we need support, guidance, and a safe space to begin that process. I know what it feels like to believe you have to hide parts of yourself or become someone else in order to be loved or accepted, and that understanding deeply shapes the way I show up as a therapist.
My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, heal the patterns and survival strategies that no longer serve you, and create a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and emotionally fulfilling.
The focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I help individuals focus on the Solution.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process your experiences. We’ll dig deep and get “real.” My approach is collaborative and depth-oriented – I don’t just sit back and nod and smile. I’ll go deep with you and empower you to create healthy boundaries in relationships that will ultimately increase your confidence and allow you to live the life you want to live, free of people-pleasing.
I’m a queer, multi-ethnic Mexican-Jewish woman who grew up involved in the child welfare system. My passion is helping others reconnect with their authentic selves, especially under the weight of cisheteropatriarchal oppression. I specialize in assisting adults navigate ADHD, C-PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and relationships.
I actively participate in helping you get to where you want to go, and I offer insight when clients have a desire and readiness to hear it. I have worked in the mental health field for over ten years as well, so I have heard it all! My office is a no judgement zone first and foremost. I am a sex therapist and look forward to helping you overcome sexual shame and trauma so that you can have all the intimacy and closeness you desire.
Hi, I’m Angelina, a licensed marriage and family therapist and art therapy clinician in California and Hawaii. Life can feel heavy, confusing, or just plain exhausting, and you don’t have to sort through it alone. My goal is to offer a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you grow.
My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and centered on what you need. I use EMDR and mindfulness to help you work through painful experiences and calm your nervous system. I also use creative, expressive tools when words feel hard to find. Together, we’ll build practical coping skills that fit your real life.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach to therapy is direct yet empathetic with a strength-based approach. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Couples, Family Therapy, Grief and Loss, Anger Management, Feedback Informed Care, LGBTQIA+, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, DID, Kinks, and Complex Trauma. My style/approach is a fit for teens and adults who may be dealing with challenges in their lives, both personally and professionally. These challenges may manifest as anxiety, depression, guilt, and anger.
