Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I’m Angélica Figueroa, LCSW (ella/she/her)
Hi and welcome! I am glad you are here.
In life, we encounter many events that create challenges with reconnecting to our identity, the way we see ourselves, others, and the world we navigate.
For BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent folx, these internal challenges about our identities are more often than not rooted in the trauma we experience due to the systemically and intentionally oppressive systems we encounter daily.
Raíces y Heart Therapy is a space where parts are held and encouraged to grow into their authentic identity, while rooted in the strength and perseverance of our ancestors’ past. Whether you are just taking that first step or beginning again, this is a space where new roots can take place.
Therapy Services
At Raíces y Heart Therapy, I provide client centered, whole person, and compassionate approach to therapy. My approach blends EMDR Therapy, parts work, polyvagal theory, attachment, and systems perspective. I explore the effects of family, culture, community, systemic oppression, and generational influences as we collaboratively work towards healing, growth, and liberation.
I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, high masking adults, neurodivergent parents, and folx exploring their neurodivergent identity. I aim to offer a safe enough space for reconnection to the self, to your identity, and to your community.
Therapy is provided in both English and Spanish. I provide individual therapy, virtually only, to adults residing in California.
EMDR Consultations
Are you a clinician looking to obtain your hours towards EMDR Therapist-In-Training or EMDR Certified Therapist? If so, I am here to support your growth.
I specifically hold EMDR BIPOC Group Consultations and Individual Consultations for clinicians identifying as neurodivergent, Black, Indigenous, Latine, Asian, and other traditionally underrepresented persons of color (BIPOC).
I received my foundational training for EMDR by The Institute for Creative Mindfulness (ICM). I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant through the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). I am Certified in Perinatal Mood Disorders (PMH-C). I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and Spanish literature as well as a master’s in social work.
I welcome you to take a look at the upcoming individual consultation hours and EMDR groups. I look forward to connecting!
