Angela Dixon

Hi, my name is Angela and I am licensed in California and Nevada with over 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, relationship issues, trauma and abuse. I started my career fresh out of graduate school having earned a Master of Social Work. During my years in the field, I worked children, teens, and adults who had suffered abuse and neglect. I have worked with clients who were caring for family members with a variety of needs ranging from gifted to severely disabled and even terminally ill. Since 2016, I've worked in the capacity as a therapist and I love helping clients to heal from past hurts, manage current stressor, and move forward positively into the future.

I work with my clients to create an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment while providing interventions using a variety of therapeutic modalities. I have work experience implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I'm also certified in EMDR therapy and have treated clients with EMDR therapy since 2017. My therapeutic style is friendly and relaxed. My clients and I often laugh during our therapy sessions. As a therapist, I’ve learned much about helping clients from all walks of life and have a passion for helping people recover from emotional and physical pain so they can build a life worth living. I look forward to working with you and traveling alongside you in this journey called life.

I'm a strong believer in client self determination meaning that in our first session we will focus on what you want to achieve in therapy. We will also spend some time going over relevant history and current circumstances. My goal is to get to know you, why you decided to seek therapy, and what your treatment goals are so together we can develop a treatment plan that makes sense to you. It is also an opportunity for you to decide if we are the right fit. There are many qualified and effective therapist and my desire is for you to find the one that is the right fit for you.
