Sometimes life does not turn out the way you hoped and it can take time to feel steady again. Maybe you are adjusting to life with a new baby while others tell you this should be the happiest time of your life. Maybe you are grieving a loss while the world keeps moving or facing an unexpected change and wondering how to move forward. Whatever brings you here, you do not have to navigate it alone. I am Angela Procalamos, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, and I support adults ages 18 and older experiencing depression, perinatal depression, anxiety, grief, and significant life transitions. As a non-traditional student raising two school-aged children, I completed both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. That experience deepened my understanding of how demanding major life transitions can be, while my clinical training helps me meet each client with skill and care. I bring more than 11 years of experience in behavioral health, including work in community mental health and a managed care organization. This background gives me a broad understanding of both the systems clients encounter and the deeply personal nature of therapy. I believe in each person's capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. I honor the unique path, timeline, and story every client brings to therapy.
