About

Hello, I am Angélica Figueroa

(ella/she/her)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. Prior to private practice, I provided community based mental health services in school settings and the respective home of the folx I had the opportunity to support, from childhood to mature adults, from 2012 to 2015. From there, I provided mental health services in integrated medical health centers to folx across the lifespan navigating life with health concerns and entering parenthood, for several years, before taking on leadership and management roles.

My journey as a therapist began in childhood. I grew up struggling to be understood by the very systems that were supposed to protect and provide community. I struggled with the traumatic effects created by systemic oppression and lack of access to health equity.

As I embarked on my own journey toward healing, strength and reconnection to my identity, I’ve learned lessons that created the space to embrace navigating life as an AuDHD bilingual Mexican, Latina, mother, partner, aunt, colleague, friend, cat and dog mom—it is formidable and liberating to dive into that growth. These lessons from my own healing journey drive the compassion and empathy to hold an affirming space where folx will be heard, seen, understood, and validated.
