Angelica Stuart

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist who specializes in supporting individuals who are struggling with self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, relationship conflicts, and emotional distress. I have experience working with a diverse population that include children, teens, adults and couples. I earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology from University of California, Irvine. I graduated from University of San Diego with a Masters in Counseling, specialization in Clinical Mental Health. I have experience providing evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Specialties include working with chronic mental illnesses (i.e., Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, OCD), PTSD and psychiatric crisis (suicidal ideation).

I offer a client-centered, empathetic, and trauma-informed approach to therapy that’s uniquely tailored to your journey.

I assist clients in processing past experiences, building self-confidence, adapting to change, and learning acceptance using evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, CPT, and SFT. The ultimate goal is to support your journey of growth and help you overcome challenges, enabling you to better adapt to life’s circumstances and lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Typically, the first session is an assessment session where I will gather your biopsychosocial history. This means being asked about the psychology of your patterns, health and illness history, and your social factors are evaluated.
