Angela Tamayo

Hi, I’m Angela, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maryland and Tennessee via telehealth. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and specialize in working with children ages 11 and up, teens, and adults. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD and ASD and life transitions, and I have a warm, grounded style that helps clients feel safe and understood. My background includes extensive experience with youth and families, and I integrate evidence-based modalities such as CBT, Exposure-Based approaches, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and trauma-informed care.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I work closely with children (11+), teens, and adults, adapting my style to meet each client’s developmental stage and unique needs. I combine a trauma-informed lens with structured, goal-focused strategies—especially for anxiety, OCD, and emotional regulation. Clients can expect compassion, clear guidance, and a safe environment to explore deeper patterns, build emotional skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where we move entirely at your pace. Whether you’re coming in for yourself or seeking support for your child (ages 11+), I take time to understand what feels most important to you right now. We’ll explore your concerns gently, clarify your goals, and talk about what you hope to gain from therapy. There is no pressure to share more than you’re ready for—I believe in building trust and comfort first. Clients often leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and relieved to have a clear, compassionate plan for moving forward.
