Meet Angelica De Anda

LMHC, LMFT, EMDR Certified Therapist Clinical Supervisor

Hello, I’m Angelica De Anda, LMHC, CMHS, EMMHS, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Supervisor. With extensive experience in mental health care, I have worked in various settings, including outpatient care and trauma-focused therapy.
I am dedicated to fostering a supportive, collaborative environment where clinicians can enhance their skills, cultural competence, and confidence in delivering exceptional care.
In my supervision practice, I draw from evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and trauma-informed practices.
My goal is to guide and mentor clinicians as they navigate the complexities and rewards of mental health work while maintaining ethical and client-centered approaches.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, getting creative with crafting projects, and exploring nature through walks and hikes. I also love attending live music events, which recharge my energy and bring me joy. These passions inspire my work, helping me create a safe and empowering environment for my clients and supervisees.
