Great to meet you!

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.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in working with individuals navigating the impacts of trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centered, and I meet each person where they are—with empathy, curiosity, and a belief in their ability to grow.

My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, respect, and authenticity. I believe that true healing happens when we feel safe enough to explore our inner world without fear of judgment.

What you can expect from me

I am deeply dedicated to helping clients work through trauma and reclaim their sense of self. Using a trauma-informed lens, I support clients in understanding the patterns that keep them stuck and gently guide them toward greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. Whether you’re beginning therapy for the first time or returning to it with new goals, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and respect for your unique journey.
